Question: How do I know if it's still safe for my frail parents to live alone?
Answer: With advanced age can come losses in physical or mental abilities. Many of these losses are gradual and manageable, but some are serious enough to require intervention.
According to the When to Step In solutions guide from ThirdAge, signs that your loved one may need supervised care include memory loss, forgetfulness, difficulty making decisions, difficulty with movement or dependence on a wheelchair, loss of bladder control, or inability to track medications.
