Scenario

When aging parents struggle with basic self-care but resist assistance

I keep finding spoiled food in Dad's refrigerator but he insists he is eating fine and I am not sure if he is forgetting or just too proud to admit he needs help

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Pride and forgetfulness can become indistinguishable when acknowledging need feels like admitting defeat.
