Is it time for assisted living?

Assisted living can be an excellent option for keeping older adults safe, social, and mentally and physically healthy. The question is, how do you know it is time for the support that assisted living provides? Common signs include:

Loss of Mobility or Increasing Falls

Falls happening more often when getting out of bed, bathing or showering, when reaching for something, during personal care, carrying out household tasks, or entering or leaving the home. Medical challenges, such as vision, blood pressure, arthritis, or new medications may be causing balance problems. These challenges, along with the fear of falling, may also cause greater inactivity, which in turn increases the chances of falling.

More Frequent Medical Care

Declining health, chronic health problems that are growing worse and require more medical care, or temporary health issues caused by poor self-care, poor nutrition, or medication management problems often benefit from an environment with 24-hour nursing care.

Medication Management Difficulties

Not remembering to take medications at the right times or in the right amounts – or taking them too often. Warning signs of mismanaging medications can include pill boxes that are not current, stockpiled or expired medications, or hospitalizations.

Difficulty Performing Daily Self Care

A noticeable decline in personal hygiene practices, such as bathing, dressing, grooming or toileting. Problems with self-care or other activities of daily living (ADLs) can be signs someone may not be OK living by themselves.

Increasing Social Isolation

Not participating in social activities that were previously enjoyable, or not leaving the house for days. This can be brought on by depression, health or mobility problems, or by memory problems, among other factors.

Personality Changes, Memory Loss, Getting Lost

Wandering without a clear destination, confusion, getting lost frequently, and losing things regularly are often signs of dementia, as well as short term memory loss and uncharacteristic bouts of anger or aggressive behaviors.

Bottom line: Is it time for assisted living?

Acknowledging that someone you love needs full-time care is hard. Recognizing that you can’t give them the care they need can be difficult too. If you’re concerned about your aging loved one’s safety, health or happiness, talk to them about their housing options. Involve their doctor and a financial advisor in your conversations so you both understand all the senior living choices available to them.

If you are noticing some of the red flags listed above, then it may be time to look into an assisted living option.

Additionally, if memory-related problems have progressed enough that being at home isn’t safe anymore, many people who have dementia can benefit from living in an assisted living memory care unit that is specially designed to make their life safer and more fulfilling, while easing anxiety and confusion.

Speaking with a family physician, a financial advisor or a lawyer can also help in making the decision that is right for you. Let us help walk you through the decision-making process. No pressure.
