For adults who live a considerable distance from their elderly parents, it also serves as the ideal time to see how they are managing on their own. While phone calls are great for staying connected throughout the year, it can be difficult to truly gauge their physical and mental health without seeing them in person. So, as you reconnect and enjoy each other\u2019s company this holiday season, here are some signs you should look for to determine if and how your mom or dad could use additional support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group blog-key-takeaways\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<style>\n.blog-key-takeaways{\nborder-radius: 10px;\n    padding: 20px 60px 10px 50px;\nbox-shadow: 0px 0px 15px -3px #00000029;\n}\n.blog-key-takeaways h3 {\ntext-color: #004976;\n   margin-bottom: 10px;\n    font-size: 24px;\nfont-weight:700;\n}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/homewellcares.com\/base-site\/blogs\/checking-on-your-senior-parents-during-the-holidays-3-signs-to-look-for\/#Key_Takeaways\" >Key Takeaways<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/homewellcares.com\/base-site\/blogs\/checking-on-your-senior-parents-during-the-holidays-3-signs-to-look-for\/#Cognitive_decline\" >Cognitive decline\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/homewellcares.com\/base-site\/blogs\/checking-on-your-senior-parents-during-the-holidays-3-signs-to-look-for\/#Physical_changes\" >Physical changes\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/homewellcares.com\/base-site\/blogs\/checking-on-your-senior-parents-during-the-holidays-3-signs-to-look-for\/#Home_environment\" >Home environment<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/homewellcares.com\/base-site\/blogs\/checking-on-your-senior-parents-during-the-holidays-3-signs-to-look-for\/#Next_steps\" >Next steps\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-takeaways\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaways\"><\/span>Key Takeaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For families who are able to visit their aging loved ones during the holiday season, it&#8217;s a common occasion to begin noticing signs of health decline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From memory loss to changes in appearance and behavior, many cues can indicate the potential need for at-home help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have concerns, consider conferring with other trusted family members before approaching your loved one right away about exploring care options.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cognitive-decline\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cognitive_decline\"><\/span><strong>Cognitive decline\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to confuse memory loss with normal aging. That\u2019s why knowing the&nbsp;<mark class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-7-color\">difference between dementia and normal aging<\/mark>&nbsp;is crucial as your parents grow older.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having forgetful moments from time to time, such as forgetting a word in a conversation or misplacing documents, can be expected. However, when your parents start having difficulty maintaining a conversation, frequently forget where they placed essential documents or show other signs of chronic forgetfulness, it can be a sign of&nbsp;<mark class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-7-color\">Mild Cognitive Impairment<\/mark>&nbsp;(MCI).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If dementia may be a concern for your family, pay close attention to these early warning signs during your visit:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Frequent confusion&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting lost while driving or walking to familiar places&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty reading a book or following a conversation&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Misspending large sums of money&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leaving mail unopened and bills unpaid.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-physical-changes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Physical_changes\"><\/span><strong>Physical changes\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do mom and dad have noticeable changes in their weight (gain or loss)? Are you noticing poor hygiene or a disheveled appearance? It\u2019s essential to take note of these changes during your visit. Often they can indicate your parent is no longer able to take care of themselves or suffering from mental health issues such as&nbsp;<mark class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-7-color\">loneliness or depression<\/mark>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A decrease in mobility is also noteworthy. Diminished mobility can lead to further problems and a poor quality of life. If you notice they\u2019re having trouble balancing, walking up and down stairs or experiencing pain when standing up from a chair, don\u2019t take those signs lightly, as they show your parents could be at a greater risk of falling. Consider making an appointment with their doctor to discuss options to help keep them safe and healthy, such as pain management, physical therapy or hiring&nbsp;<mark class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-7-color\">in-home caregivers<\/mark>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-home-environment\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_environment\"><\/span><strong>Home environment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During your visit, see if your parents are keeping the house up to their usual standards. Remember that the things you\u2019re looking for may not be obvious. Often, the warning signs are subtle. For example, scorched marks in the kitchen could indicate that they\u2019ve forgotten about their food on the stove or in the oven a time or two. And while you\u2019re in the kitchen, check for expired food, piled-up trash near the garbage can, or a lack of healthy food. These can all be signs that your parents aren\u2019t handling the shopping list correctly, and it may be time to arrange for someone to take over&nbsp;<mark class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-7-color\">meal preparation and basic housekeeping<\/mark>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, pay close attention to the shared living spaces. Are they as clean as they usually are? Or did you notice an excessive amount of clutter? Not only is clutter a potential&nbsp;<mark class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-7-color\">fall risk<\/mark>, but it is also a sign that your mom and dad could be having a more challenging time keeping up with the home.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-next-steps\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_steps\"><\/span><strong>Next steps\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any of the three warning signs listed above, take the opportunity to write down and collect any information while you\u2019re still in town. Addressing these issues during a Christmas visit may not be the best time but do plan to evaluate and discuss the problems you found when appropriate. If you have siblings or other loved ones who are close to your parents, it could be beneficial to explain your findings to them as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that having the initial conversation with your parents will be a vulnerable moment on both sides. However, this conversation is a first step toward keeping your parents safe, happy, and healthy at home in the long run. Suggest making an appointment with a doctor for a complete health assessment, as the results from this evaluation will help you work together to determine what next steps are necessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At HomeWell Care Services, we understand how making the right decision can be stressful for your family.
