How to Know When It’s Time for In-Home Care for Your Loved One

Caring for an aging parent or loved one is one of the most loving things you can do—but it can also be overwhelming. Many families wonder: When is the right time to bring in professional help? At ComForCare – Milwaukee, we’re here to help you recognize the signs and support you through the transition.

🚩 5 Signs It Might Be Time for In-Home Care

1. Frequent Falls or Mobility Issues
If your loved one is having trouble walking, getting up, or has experienced falls, in-home care can provide safety and peace of mind.

2. Missed Medications
Forgetting medications or taking the wrong dose is common—and dangerous. A caregiver can ensure the right meds are taken on time, every time.

3. Poor Hygiene or Housekeeping
Noticing body odor, unwashed clothes, or a cluttered home? These may be signs your loved one needs help with daily tasks.

4. Isolation or Loneliness
Social withdrawal is a red flag for depression and cognitive decline. A caregiver provides not only support—but companionship.

5. Caregiver Burnout
If you are exhausted, emotionally drained, or stretched too thin, it may be time to share the load with a professional.
