It's easy to assume things are fine when someone sounds fine. But a steady voice on the phone doesn't tell you whether the smoke detector has a battery, whether the stairs are getting harder to manage, or whether the fridge is actually stocked.
If you haven't been inside your parent's or aging loved one's home in a while, make time before the season changes. Look around. Ask questions. Notice the small things.
That's often how the biggest problems get caught early, before they become emergencies.
Calls keep you connected.
Visits keep you informed.
