The 4 Red Flags to Look for When Visiting Loved Ones During the Holidays

Holidays are occasions that many of us spend with family, whether we live down the block or across the country. For those with aging parents or loved ones, these visits are an important time to take stock amidst the hustle and bustle, and to make plans.

The Aging Life Care Association® has offered the following list of warning signs and behaviors that are important to look out for as you spend time with older loved ones. If you notice changes, take the opportunity while you are there to further assess the situation and determine if intervention or help is needed.

1. Environment:
· Do you see signs of damage or disrepair around or in the home? Accumulated trash or possessions? Burned out light bulbs?
· Any decline in cleanliness, especially in the kitchen and bathroom? Are items being stored in unusual or hazardous places? Is there a large amount of unopened mail?
· Does their car have scratches or other areas of damage?
2. Food:
· Is there adequate food? Check the fridge to see if there are expired or spoiled food items.
· Do you notice weight loss or do you suspect that your elder loved one is skipping meals or not eating a nutritious diet?
3. Mood or behavior:
· Has mom or dad stopped socializing and given up on hobbies that were important to them?
· Do they have any new friends or organizations who they have a lot of contact with? Is anyone or any organization asking for repeated or large donations or loans?
· Are you noticing increased confusion? Do you notice your elder loved one constantly repeating things?
· Are they showing irritability or apathy? Does he or she seem more withdrawn or sad?
4. Personal Hygiene:
· Are you noticing your elder loved one is unkempt, not dressing during the day like they used to; not showering and wearing dirty clothing when they do get dressed?
· Do you notice bruises that may indicate they have had falls?
These are just a few warning signs that your elder loved one needs assistance. By initiating conversation and reaching out for support and information, you can help your loved ones as they navigate this new stage of their lives.

Hospitals across the country are overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients, most of which are unvaccinated.

That's why we've joined Nationwide Children's Hospital, OhioHealth and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to call on everyone to get vaccinated now, for your own health and the health of our community.

08/23/2021

The approval replaces the emergency use authorizations granted last December, and could make it easier for employers, the military and universities to mandate the vaccination.
