Griswold, the industry-leading non-medical home care franchise with more than 170 locations, is sharing invaluable insights on identifying the signs that could signal the need for long-term care for your loved ones.

During a recent interview with KPRC 2 Houston, Ashra Dunker, the community liaison for Griswold of West Houston, Texas, highlighted the following key indicators that families should be attentive to: 

• Social withdrawal: Noticeable changes in your parent’s social activities or a significant decrease in their social engagements might signal underlying issues.
• Decline in home upkeep: If the household appears consistently unkempt or disorganized compared to their usual standards, it could indicate difficulties in managing day-to-day tasks.
• Medication mismanagement: Failure to adhere to prescribed medication schedules or visible issues in managing medications may be a red flag
• Financial changes: An uncharacteristic neglect in paying bills or managing finances might suggest cognitive or functional decline 

Dunker believes that recognizing these signs early on can be pivotal in ensuring timely and appropriate care for your loved ones. She also says that although your parents may not ask for help, they may need it.
