Having a caregiver around means there\u2019s someone paying attention to both the obvious and the subtle changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caregivers may notice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shifts in <strong>appetite or eating habits<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increased fatigue<\/strong> or unusual tiredness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New or worsening <strong>difficulty walking or moving safely<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shortness of breath<\/strong> or changes in breathing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swelling<\/strong> or changes in mobility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confusion, forgetfulness, or behavior changes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When something seems off, families can connect with healthcare providers sooner rather than later.
