Is It Time for a Caregiver? A Family Guide to Home Assistance Options

When caring for an aging parent or loved one, it’s often difficult to know when to step in—or how. You may have noticed subtle changes, like missed meals or clutter piling up, or more concerning signs like medication mix-ups or increased forgetfulness. These moments spark an important question many families face:

Is it time to get help?

✅ Start With These Questions:

• Is your loved one safe living alone?
  Have there been recent falls, close calls, or medical emergencies? Does the home environment pose hazards—like loose rugs or poor lighting—that increase their risk?

• Are daily tasks becoming more difficult?
  Struggling with bathing, dressing, preparing meals, or keeping up with basic housekeeping may signal it’s time for added support.

• Are family caregivers overwhelmed or burned out?
  Even the most dedicated family caregiver needs a break. If stress or exhaustion is creeping in, it may be time to share the load.

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, it’s time to explore your options.
