Aging poses many challenges. There are physical issues. and mental issues. Every person is different. But there are a few things that indicate that help may be needed – either having to do with medical care or emotional support.
A story on careconversations.com lists three early warning signs that an aging loved one may need assistance.
- Writing checks or paying money to unfamiliar people. If these payments are out of the norm or don’t make sense, they may indicate memory troubles or confused thinking.
- Being uninterested in the things that used to be enjoyed. This can signal depression or physical pain.
- Changed eating habits. A change in appetite can signal mental or physical problems.
