HAPPY FESTIVE SEASON FRIENDS! We are well and truly into the silly season, so this episode is all about how to check in on loved ones over this festive time.
The idea of an annual check-in is a yearly reminder to pause and take stock of how your ageing loved ones are progressing. You might look back on the past 12 months and be impressed at how independent they've been! You might compare to Christmas last year and realise there are quite a few changes in their overall wellbeing.
In today's episode I break down 8 key categories to look out for, probing questions you could use to learn more and what this could potentially be a sign of:
- Personal appearance
- Weight change
- Mobility
- Engagement
- Social/community participation
- Memory/recall
- Medication management
- Home maintenance
