Nurse's Articles: Signs that your parents can not live by themselves
I showed many signs to my parents or loved ones, but I can not live on my own. Please read below.
Living conditions - One of the first and most obvious signs that your parents are not coping well at home at home is the home situation. Your parents may have been very clean and organized, but now the interior of the house is cluttered and confused. There may be dirty laundry everywhere. Dirty dishes may be piled up in the washroom and the counter. These are all the warning signs that there is a problem at home that must pay attention. It may mean bringing home with help of housekeeping and doing housework around the house. Alternatively, they may need to move to a nursing home to provide meals, which may be an indication that the accommodation may need to take care.
Behavior sign - Common signs of parents' problems living on their own and having difficulties are overdosing or diarrhea. Your parents may be drinking alcohol or drinking medications that you do not usually want to do. It is important to handle abnormal behavior before it becomes a big problem.
Physical sign - You may notice that your parent lost a significant amount of weight or weight. If so, they may not eat properly. Be aware that you may be symptoms of malnutrition, loss of appetite, or unhealthy diet, so be careful if you notice a change in your weight.
Your parents may begin to show signs of noticeable wounds or pain, or may cut their face, head, body from autumn. They may not remember how they received these signs, but they are hiding for spouses who may be physically abused. In order for your loved one to live a safe life it is important to know more about these bruises, breaks, or injuries.
Financial indication - If you are a parent's POA (a proxy) and you have not noticed that your bank account has used up all the funds or if you do not notice the lack of a large sum, it may not be a sign at home there is. Along with their finances. Their credit cards may be maximized with strange purchases coming to the house. Junk mail starts to accumulate around the house, and the number of charity organizations seeking information asking for donation is increasing. This may be an indication that you may give to all the charities your parents know. A big red flag may be the amount of continuous increase of strangers coming to the door asking for money whether it is legitimate or not.
Also, unpaid invoices or utilities may be invalid due to unclaimed or unpaid invoices. Or, because you do not understand why you are receiving these phones, bills collectors are calling that could potentially stress your precious person.
You have to decide to move your parents
Please remember that this is a decision to change the lives of you and your parents in Alzheimer's disease if you are moving your parents home or family home. Not only is it a huge transition for everyone involved, but it also has the potential for more confusion in your already confused life for parents. It is important that this situation does not work for reasons for backup planning or for other reasons. Creating a backup plan before moving helps you move. It also reduces stress on parents. When I propose a backup plan, I mean that the parent moves regardless of whether the parent is a sibling's house or a nursing home.
Sometimes when parents travel with us, we may have never understood that we have more needs than we originally thought. If the need for nursing care is too much to handle at home, it is not a sign of failure. In addition to recognizing this and asking for help, it is important to ask for the help of local communities, such as the community health center and family doctors who can guide you to guide complicated health care systems is.

- Keep the conversation positive and concise.
- This stresses your parents, in the case of Alzheimer do not need to add stress by relieving stress, please do not shout and debate.
- Discuss the merits of moving to family houses.
- I just promise to protect you. We need to build trust with this parent.
- Please include your parents in the plan of this move. However, if your parents get excited or feel stressed in this conversation, divide the planning into smaller jobs so that they are not overwhelmed.
