Long Distance Caregiving!
Did you visit your aging parents this holiday season and notice any of these Red Flags?
As a long-distance caregiver, it’s not always easy to spot the subtle signs of age-related decline, but these red flags could indicate your loved ones need more help than they’re letting you know.
In this heartfelt video, I define what it means to be a long-distance caregiver and walk you through key warning signs to look out for:
Unexplained Weight Loss - A sign of underlying health issues or challenges with daily nutrition.
Changes in Balance and Mobility - A potential risk for falls and reduced independence.
Mood and Behavior Shifts - Including depression, withdrawal, or confusion.
Home Environment Clues - Clutter, unopened mail, or expired medications may reveal struggles.
Don’t let distance stop you from providing the care your parents need and deserve. If you’ve noticed these warning signs, it’s time to take action:
Have an open and loving conversation with your parents.
Schedule a health assessment to address any concerns.
Explore local resources for elder care and home support.
Develop a proactive plan for their health, safety, and independence.
As a Senior Advocate and Senior Housing Specialist, I understand the challenges of caregiving from afar. Let me guide you through this journey, because ensuring your loved ones age with dignity is what truly matters.
