Hello,
I am a 42 yr. old female and I care for my 79 yr. old father with mild Alzheimer's/dementia. Mom passed away June 2023 and it has became so much harder. I am trying me best to take care of him, but he's mood swings, the repetitiveness, etc, are frustrating. Wondering if through here I can have some ideas, books I can read, forms I can read/join to better take care of him and better understand this disease.
