Now that we’re past the hectic activity of the holidays, we have time to reflect on things that are important to us – including making sure that our parents are healthy and safe. As you reflect on your visits with your parents and older relatives, consider the Mayo Clinic’s guide to identifying signs of health problems, to help you gauge whether those you love need assistance.
Read “Aging Parents: Five warning signs of health problems” at www.mayoclinic.com/print/aging-parents/HA00082/METHOD=print.
Many thanks to Chris Urso for pointing out this valuable resource.
