Signs Your Loved One's Needs are Changing

It can often be hard to tell when ageing is affecting a family member. Don't ignore the warning signs, because small things can add up to a larger challenge incredibly fast. If you notice certain changes in your loved one, it might be time to consider outside help:

  • Changes in relationships with family and friends.
  • Withdrawal from social interactions.
  • Unusual behaviour, such as increased agitation, speaking loudly or little talking at all.
  • Neglecting personal care, such as hygiene or nutrition.
  • Lack of engagement with the rituals of daily living, unopened letters, unwashed laundry and dirty dishes.
  • Mismanagement of finances, such as unpaid bills or unusual purchases.

"This is the first time I have needed care and I was unsure what to expect. Thank goodness I chose Right at Home. Gail is an excellent ambassador for the firm - pleasant, polite and professional at all times. Gemma, to me, is the epitome of what a carer should be. She is a very hard worker and always has a smile on her face."

"This was my first job in care and I was nervous about the responsibility it involved before I started, but Right at Home gave me such good training and my Registered Manager is always at the end of the phone if I need help or advice, or just a bit of reassurance. I've recently also finished my NVQ and had specialist training in dementia, which has really helped me to understand my clients' needs."
