Signs Of Advancing Age Related
Disabilities To Watch Out For
Many times, the signs of aging are at first subtle. Many elderly actively try and hide any
infirmaries or difficulties they are experiencing. No one likes to admit they aren’t as
physically able as they’d like to be.
Here are some common danger signals to consider:
Sudden weight loss could be an indication the elderly person is simply not preparing
or even eating food.
Failure to take medication or over-dosing may indicate confusion, forgetfulness, or
a misunderstanding of the doctor's instructions.
Burns or injury marks may indicate physical problems involving general weakness,
forgetfulness, or a possible misuse of alcohol or prescription drugs.
Deterioration of personal habits - such as infrequent bathing and shampooing, not
shaving, or not wearing dentures could be the result of either mental or physical
problems.
Increased car accidents can indicate slowed reflexes, poor vision, physical weakness,
or a general inability to handle a vehicle.
General forgetfulness - such as not paying bills, missing appointments, or
consistently forgetting names, addresses, phone numbers, and meal times.
Extreme suspiciousness could indicate some physical disorders such as Alzheimer’s
or Parkinson’s Disease. Intense ungrounded fears about dire consequences may
likewise be a danger signal.
A series of small fires could be caused by dozing off, forgetting to turn the stove or
appliances off, or being careless with matches or cigarettes. They may also indicate
blackouts or dizzy spells.
Bizarre behavior of any kind could be a warning sign. This behavior could be
dressing in heavy gloves and overcoat in hot weather or going outside without shoes
when it's snowing. Uncharacteristic actions or speech patterns are also warning signs of
mental decline.
Disorientation of a consistent nature may indicate a need for help. Examples
include not knowing who one is, where one is, who the family is, or talking to people
who aren’t there. This is especially true for Alzheimer’s patients and those suffering
from other forms of dementia.

Geriatric Care – Caring for the Elderly to preserve the Independence, Dignity and Quality of Life for Aging Loved Ones
Quality of Life
It’s no secret, as we grow older usual, common place activities become
increasingly more difficult. Sometimes just going to the store involves a major
exertion.
Impaired mobility is one of the senior population’s primary concerns.
Half of all adults over 85, and one quarter of those over 75 experience
noticeable mobility problems.
Walking, climbing stairs, bathing, using the toilet, getting up from a
chair or getting out of bed can pose considerable difficulties.
Vision problems also become quite prevalent, especially when trying
to read the all to often insanely small typeface on printed instructions and
bills, or even the numbers off a credit card.
As the years progress, many elderly can become completely disabled, totally
dependent upon others for helping them do the smallest of tasks.
How do you care for an elderly, disabled or sick parent, spouse or sibling
and still have time for yourself as well?
