Ask yourself the following questions to help determine if you are
able to take care of your elderly loved one, alone. You can also
work with your Senior Transitions Geriatric Care Manager to get
their experienced assistance in determining the care needs of your
loved one.
- Can my loved one be left alone for extended periods of time?
- Can they take care of their basic needs, such as bathing,
dressing, feeding?
- Are they able to remember to take medications as prescribed?
- Will they let strangers into their home?
- Will they know what to do in the event of a fire or another
emergency situation?
- If they fall are they able to get the help that they need?
- Can they prepare their own meals?
- Do they wander away from familiar surroundings?
