Lonely in Cala Llombards: Why a 73‑year‑old starved — and what is missing now

Answer

What warning signs should neighbors look for if an elderly person in Mallorca may be in trouble?

Changes in routine are often the clearest signs: unopened post, a house that suddenly stays dark, missed shopping trips, or a person no longer seen at their usual places. In Mallorca, these small shifts can matter a lot, especially when someone lives far from family or receives little day-to-day support.
