How do You Know When It’s Time for a Nursing Home?

There’s no two ways about it: our bodies (and sometimes our minds) are prone to deterioration with
age, and some are more susceptible than others. None of us can stave off the ravages of time forever,
but if we have good genes and we eat right, exercise, and practice safety first, many of us can stay fit,
healthy, and active for the majority of our lives. Unfortunately, there may come a time in every elderly
person’s life when outside care is needed. So if you are trying to find the best way to help an elderly
relative and you’re not sure if a nursing home is right, here are a few things you’ll want to consider.

home or he can no longer manage a household, then perhaps a senior living community or a retirement
home will suffice (where he can get help with cleaning, grocery shopping, and so on). Or you may
choose to bring your relative into your own home at far less expense. A nursing home provides for
medical care and constant supervision, so it’s a good bet for those that need attention that other
facilities can’t provide.

As for what types of conditions necessitate entry into this type of institution, there are several signs that
the time may be approaching to place your relative in a nursing [Read more…]
