I am the sole caregiver for 2 parents each with dementia. I just moved from out of state to care for them. Any recommendations for in-home respite services in Greenville County?

    Hi DaughterNJ - welcome to 'here', but sorry for the reason.

    You can check local resources for alz care and check the reviews posted for them.

    care.com is nationwide and goes by zip code. I think I saw a post a while back that some areas are better than others.

    you can interview before you go with anybody.

    (also NJ transplant) Glad you found this forum. Lots of help and support.
