Copy of 5 Early Signs Your Loved One May Need In-Home Care

Caring for an aging or disabled loved one can be both rewarding and challenging. Many families want to keep their loved ones at home for as long as possible, but sometimes it’s hard to know when additional help is truly needed. At Quality Touch CDPAP Agency, we believe in empowering families through knowledge and support.

Here are five early signs that your loved one may benefit from in-home care through the CDPAP program:

1. Difficulty Managing Daily Tasks

Are they struggling to keep up with meals, laundry, or personal hygiene? These basic activities of daily living (ADLs) are often the first to become difficult—and the first sign that support is needed.

2. Frequent Falls or Mobility Issues

If your loved one is using walls or furniture for support, or has had a recent fall, it may be time to consider regular assistance to reduce risks and injuries.

3. Forgetfulness or Missed Appointments

Memory lapses can be a red flag, especially if medications are missed or important appointments are forgotten. Early intervention is key for long-term health.

4. Weight Loss or Changes in Eating Habits

If you notice the fridge is empty or food is going bad, they may be skipping meals due to forgetfulness, mobility limitations, or depression.

5. Withdrawal from Social Activities

Isolation is common in seniors and people with disabilities. If your loved one is pulling away from hobbies, calls, or family visits, it may be a sign they need emotional and physical support.

How CDPAP Can HelpWith CDPAP, your loved one can choose you—a trusted family member or friend—to be their caregiver. It allows for personalized, compassionate care without sacrificing independence or comfort.
