Determining if you need home care involves assessing various aspects of your daily life and well-being. Here are some indicators that may suggest a need for home care:

1. Difficulty with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): If you find it challenging to perform essential daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, or toileting.
2. Health Conditions: If you have a chronic illness, recovering from surgery, managing a medical condition, or experiencing a decline in health, home care can provide necessary support.
3. Mobility Issues: If you’re facing difficulties with mobility, whether it’s moving around the house, walking, or getting in and out of bed.
4. Safety Concerns: If your home environment poses safety risks, such as tripping hazards, difficulty in navigating, or if you’ve had recent falls.
5. Medication Management: If you struggle with managing medications, require assistance with medication reminders, or need someone to oversee your healthcare routine.
6. Loneliness or Isolation: If you’re feeling socially isolated and could benefit from companionship or assistance with activities that involve interaction.
7. Family Support: If your family or primary caregivers are unable to provide the level of support you need due to other commitments, and you require additional assistance.
8. Difficulty with Household Tasks: If routine tasks like cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, or maintaining your home have become challenging.
9. Recovery from Hospitalisation: If you’re transitioning from a hospital stay and need temporary assistance with recovery and rehabilitation at home.
