Alzheimer's Symptoms: He's Spiraling Downward and May Need 24/7 Care
Hello everyone, Thank you all so much for the support and advice you've shared. Magkunne, have you considered in-home care as an alternative to a care facility? Recently, Help Choose Home shared a webinar with us titled "Help Choose Home: A Basic Primer on In-Home Care". You can find this webinar here: ( http://www.helpchoosehome.com/past-webinars/ ). Another option is respite care, like Adult Day Care. You can find Adult Day Care services in your area in our Local Directory: (https://www.caring.com/local/adult-day-care). You also mention feeling guilty for seeing 24/7 care even when you know it's the right thing for him. You may find this article on "5 Caregiving Rules You Can Break," here: ( https://www.caring.com/blogs/self-caring/5-caregiving-rules-you-can-break ). I hope this helps. Take care -- Emily | Community Manager
