Few Indicators That Suggest The Need For A Caregiver

A Caregiver gives compassion, care and assistance to those (suffering from disorders or very old people) who require help in everyday living. Few reasons for hiring caregiver are:
  • Things everywhere in the home are left uncleaned (dishes), vacuuming, and laundry.
  • When the senior is suffering from weight loss because they are unable to cook for themselves.
  • When the senior suffers from balance impairment and is at risk or danger of falling.
  • When the person suffers from Alzheimer's or Dementia and cannot be left alone.
  • The senior who had a stroke and requires assistance with ADL's.
  • The senior who suffers from Parkinson's disease and is unable to take care for himself/herself.
  • Any medical conditions or disorders, which make a person immobile for, extended periods.
  • Weaknesses due to advanced age.
If you recognize a need for a caregiver for yourself or a loved one, there are many options when it comes to homecare.
