At some point, seniors need help with the activities of their daily living. The warning signs that help is necessary are:
- Dehydration, poor nutrition.
- Lack of personal hygiene, incontinence.
- Mobility problems, inability to transfer safely.
- Wandering and falling, disorientation to time and place.
- Confusion, depression, and forgetfulness to take medications and paying bills.

A patient who is ready for a hospital discharge, but unable to leave because there is no one at home to assist him or her through convalescence.
