How do you know when it's time to start looking for care? 

There is not a perfect science as to when trying to determine when it's time to look for care. However, if you are having concerns about yourself or your loved one, it's important to consider all of your options early, as poor planning can result in unexpected and unaffordable care options. 

If you or your loved one are experiencing any of these signs or symptoms, it's time to consider your care options: 

• Change in health Condition (recent hospital stay, on going poor health) 
• A New Diagnoses (heart conditions, dementia, alzheimer's, parkinson's, cancer)
• Memory Challenges (short term or long term) 
• Physical Challenges (lifting, standing, carrying objects) 
• At risk for falls / Frequent falls 
• Isolation / Social withdrawal
• Depression or Anxiety /Mood Changes
• Forgetting daily activities: showering, cooking, medications etc
• Changes in hygiene / Not Showering
• Change in family dynamics/ support system 
• Loss of a primary caretaker/ home maker
• Care recommendations from professionals (ie. Doctor)
