Potpourri

JEFFERSON TWP — For many families with an aging loved one, it can be hard to determine when extra help — such as enlisting a home care company or moving to a senior care community — is finally needed. To help start the conversation, Concordia Lutheran Ministries recently released a video identifying certain “warning signs.”

The video, 7 Signs Your Aging Loved One May Need Some Extra Help, includes grooming and cleanliness, financial irresponsibility, mobility concerns, considerable weight loss, forgetfulness, mood swings and decreased motor vehicle skills.

To view the video, visit www.concordialm.org/blog/7-signs-your-aging-loved-one-may-need-some-extra-help-video.

Notices of local upcoming news should be received by the Focus Department one week in advance of the event. Entries should include the name and phone number of the person providing the information and be sent to: P.O. Box 271, Butler, PA 16003, or focus@butlereagle.com.
