This is a pretty good general list of things to look out for. I think something you could add to the list is , "Stops buying apps on an iPhone/iPad". I know I spend a ton of money on those! There are surprisingly a lot of senior care franchise, http://www.startuphomecare.com, apps available though. You might want to take a look at some of them!

Thanks for identifying some of the indicators that parents may be struggling financially. I had never considered canceling eating out as a sign of distress, but it really makes sense. There are so many things to keep track of when taking care of senior adult home health care services for loved ones. Even if they are fairly independent, it is important to pay attention to these indicators.

There seems to be a financial problem in the elder care world. To me, people are charging families too much money for non medical elder care, and its a shame. A lot of the time, that money comes out of the pocket of the elderly, that is another reason why the elderly may be short on funds.

extremely helpful.... so many new ideas that I hadn't thought of, but would help in watching out for signs of elderly financial woes.
Thank you....Leslie
