If you are visiting your loved one during the holidays, keep an eye on out for things that might be a sign that they need extra help. It's a great time to take stock and see how things are.
- Peek in the refrigerator, freezer and cupboards. Is food spoiled or out of date? Are the right kinds of foods there - easy to prepare, healthy?
- Have they lost weight? How about their appearance - are they dressed appropriately? Is there hair clean and combed?
- Does the house look clean and tidy? Is it dusty or dirty? Perhaps it's getting to hard to clean, or maybe they don't see that it's necessary anymore.
- Are they still active, or just sitting in front of the television set?
- Are there piles of unpaid bills and unopened mail?
This looks great!!! Thanks, Cheryl =)
