This bank holiday weekend, many of us will have been catching up with family—sharing meals, stories, and maybe noticing things we hadn’t before.
Sometimes, a simple visit reveals quiet changes in a loved one’s routine. And while ageing brings natural shifts, some signs suggest they may no longer be coping alone.
Here are 7 signs your parent might need extra support:
1. 📬 Unopened mail or missed bills
2. 🧼 Changes in hygiene or grooming
3. 🥣 Weight loss or skipped meals
4. 🏠 Household clutter or disrepair
5. 🚶♂️ Frailty or signs of recent falls
6. 😔 Mood changes or social withdrawal
7. 🚗 Driving hesitancy or minor accidents
These aren’t just symptoms—they’re signals. And noticing them is the first act of care.
💷 Live-in care is often more affordable than families expect—especially for couples.
👩⚕️ Specialist dementia support available.
