-- If one or both have dementia -- If one parent is a caregiver for the other parent -- If one or both have a chronic illness that is not being managed well -- If one or both are unable to figure out their medications and are taking the wrong dosages or not taking it at all. -- If there is always spoiled food in the fridge -- If one or both are unable to bathe regularly
