Caring for an aging parent or loved one is a meaningful responsibility—but it can also be overwhelming. Many families struggle to know when it’s the right time to consider a more supportive living environment, like an adult family home. At Amani AFH, we understand how emotional this decision can be. Here are five signs that may indicate it’s time to start exploring your options:

1. Increased Falls or Safety Concerns

If your loved one has started falling more often or struggles with mobility, their current home may no longer be safe. An adult family home provides a secure environment with trained caregivers available 24/7 to help reduce risk.

2. Difficulty Managing Daily Tasks

Are everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, or bathing becoming difficult? When someone starts skipping meals or neglecting hygiene, it may be time for more consistent support.

3. Changes in Health or Medication Needs

Managing medications, doctor appointments, or chronic health issues can become too much—both for seniors and their caregivers. Adult family homes offer professional support to help keep health routines on track.

4. Social Isolation or Withdrawal

Loneliness can lead to depression, anxiety, and a decline in overall well-being. Adult family homes provide companionship, activities, and a sense of community that many seniors deeply need.

5. Caregiver Burnout

Family caregivers often feel guilty asking for help—but no one can do it alone forever. If caring for your loved one is affecting your own health or quality of life, it may be time to consider a setting that can offer consistent, compassionate care.
