When the difficulty of caring for a loved one becomes too great, the decision to hire an elder care professional can instantly reduce uncertainty and stress. Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing has served San Francisco Bay Area families for over 50 years, and they know the relief elder care can provide to Walnut Creek, Redwood City, and Berkeley residents. If you want the best care for your loved one, but find the task is too much to handle, there are a few signs you should ask for help.

4 Signs Elder Care Is Needed

1. Growing Care Needs

Is the senior or caregiver’s health in jeopardy? Are care needs beyond your physical, mental, or emotional abilities? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, it may be time to think about elder care.

2. Safety Concerns

Review your loved one’s home and the possible safety hazards inside and out. Is it unsafe for them to be there alone? This is especially important to consider if the senior suffers from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

3. Aggression & Irritability

For seniors with dementia, verbal, physical, and sexual aggression are common. Because of your loved one’s irritability and agitation, you may begin to experience resentment. If this type of behavior is disrupting family routines or taking its toll on mental and emotional health, consider how elder care may be able to lift that burden.

4. Caregiver Stress

Caregiver health is one of the most overlooked aspects of senior care. Many caregivers experience anxiety, depression, and a decline in physical health. If caring for your loved one is too much to handle, help and guidance are available.
