Recognising When It’s Time to Seek Professional Care for a Loved One

Caring for a loved one can be challenging, especially as their health and needs evolve. Knowing when to seek professional care can be a difficult decision, but recognising the signs early can make all the difference in ensuring their well-being and safety.

Signs It’s Time to Consider Professional Care

There are several indicators that it may be time to seek homecare support for a loved one:

  • Increased forgetfulness: Memory issues, such as forgetting to take medication or missing appointments, are often early signs that extra support may be needed.
  • Mobility challenges: Struggles with moving around safely, frequent falls, or difficulty getting in and out of bed may indicate that professional care is necessary.
  • Decline in personal hygiene: If your loved one is neglecting basic hygiene, such as bathing, dressing, or brushing their teeth, they may need help managing their daily routines.
  • Emotional or mental distress: Loneliness, depression, or anxiety can often be alleviated by regular visits from a professional carer who provides companionship and emotional support.
