  assisted living facility, they remain under
  medical supervision and get frequent health
  checkups.

• This can be because of the underlying health
  conditions like depression or even cancer. If
  they are putting on weight, diabetes and dementia

  eating. Someone with money problems would choose
  fewer fresh foods and more packaged foods like
  pasta or bread.

If They are No Longer Social

• Being socially active at this age is important
  to deal with the problems causing by loneliness.
  Loneliness can trigger depression and heart
  problems in older adults. Sending them to
  assisted living is really useful where they can
  enjoy the company of like-minded people.

• Given the health and mobility issues in this
  age, a person cant perform the household chores
  and maintenance tasks easily. Are their bushes
  that havent been trimmed for a long time or
  mails piling up?
• If so, it is clear sign that an elder is no
  longer able to do these common errands with ease.

• With the help of these signs, you can easily
  decide if your elders need assisted living
  services. Help them see the advantages and great
  benefits to assisted living communities so that
