How to Know When It’s Time for Assisted Living: Signs Families Should Look For

Deciding when a loved one needs assisted living can be difficult. Many families struggle with knowing the right time to transition. Research from the National Institute on Aging suggests early intervention can improve seniors’ quality of life and prevent safety risks.

Key Signs to Watch For:

1. Declining Personal Care: Difficulty bathing, dressing, or grooming.

2. Frequent Falls or Mobility Issues: Increased risk of injury at home.

3. Memory Problems: Forgetting medication, appointments, or getting lost.

4. Loneliness and Isolation: Lack of social interaction, which can lead to depression.

5. Poor Nutrition: Weight loss or reliance on unhealthy food choices.
