Concordia Lutheran Ministries recently released a video identifying certain “warning signs” that help families determine when an aging loved needs extra help.

The video, “7 Signs Your Aging Loved One May Need Some Extra Help,” looks at grooming and cleanliness, financial irresponsibility, mobility concerns, considerable weight loss, forgetfulness, mood swings and decreased motor vehicle skills. It can be accessed at http://www.concordialm.org/blog/7-signs-your-aging-loved-one-may-need-some-extra-help-video.

Keep in mind that families should be looking for extreme changes or patterns; slight alterations in behavior are expected during the aging process.

Those who have questions about the signs described in the video should contact a Concordia admissions representative at www.concordialm.org/locations or home and community services at www.concordiavn.org.
