WHEN IS A CAREGIVER NEEDED?

Here are some signs:

~Losing interest in activities they once enjoyed. Staying at home more and avoiding socialization from being overwhelmed can lead to depression. A caregiver can help with companionship, light housekeeping and staying active.

~Not eating, skipping meals, or losing weight can be a sign of the early stages of dementia. Forgetting to eat or just becoming confused in the kitchen can become an issue which can lead to severe health problems. A caregiver can ensure daily nutritional requirements and meal preparation for you or your loved ones.

~Fear of driving, fear of falling, not being able to remember doctor appointments, or running errands can be overwhelming. A caregiver can give your parent the freedom to leave the home safely.

Up to the Task provides concierge services to help with these common struggles. Our services provide safety, companionship, and quality of life.

Fun and easy activity to do, and yummy too!

These Senior Citizens Held Up Signs. And When You Read These Words...I'm In Tears Right Now! These senior citizens started holding up signs about themselves. And it's all to remind us the heartbreaking truth that often our seniors are totally overlooked. But they refuse to accept that, and how they are opening our eyes is truly beautiful. Can someone pass the tissues and the phone?!
