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.
At ComForCare, we provide compassionate, professional care that helps your loved one stay independent, safe, and dignified at home. Whether you need help a few hours a week or around-the-clock support, we’re here for you.
