In our hectic day-to-day lives, it can be hard to carve out a time to really hone in on the wellbeing of our senior loved ones, which makes holiday visiting the perfect time to pay close attention to red flags that may have arisen. One sign that your senior loved one might need care is the appearance of their home. If your elderly loved one has always taken great pride in the upkeep of her home and they suddenly have stacks of mail, newspaper and clothing around this can be indicative of a problem. Another sign is their physical appearance, such as a change in their personal hygiene, such as dirty clothing, uncombed hair, or significant weight loss or gain. The final warning sign is a change in their mental and/or emotional status. A senior who has always been the life of the party at family gatherings, yet now seems withdrawn and quiet, disinterested in what's going on around her, overly tired, or anxious may be experiencing a health concern.
