What are the warning signs that elderly care at home needs to increase?

Look for patterns rather than one-off bad days. Warning signs include missed medication, unopened food, poor personal hygiene, increased falls, confusion, isolation, repeated calls for help, unpaid bills, wandering, disturbed sleep or an obvious decline in confidence. You may also notice that your relative is no longer keeping up with laundry, eating properly or managing stairs safely. Another key sign is when family carers are stretched beyond what they can realistically maintain. If you are constantly rearranging work, feeling panicked or worrying through the night, the current setup may no longer be enough. Increasing support early is usually far easier than waiting for a crisis such as a fall, hospital admission or severe burnout.
