  • Incontinence - loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Change in appetite or weight
  • Food which is spoiled, outdated or of little nutritious value in the home
  • Diminished driving skills - near misses or accidents
  • Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
  • Isolation - reluctance to socialize
  • Poor judgment or difficulty concentrating
  • Memory loss - forgetfulness or confusion
  • Mishandled medications
  • Personality changes - irritability, sadness, anxiety or mood changes
  • Change in sleep patterns
  • Unopened mail, past due bills or mishandled finances
