Worried about return to workplace



I don't know if I'm the only one here who is a Fed. But now with the return to the workplace my sister and I are scrambling trying to figure out the best way someone can be with mom during the day that is affordable. Everything is so stressful with the info coming from above changing daily - sometimes hourly. I don't know what's going to happen.

I am so sorry to hear that. The uncertainty and changing demands are difficult for many people, but having them impact your home life while you are dealing with dementia in the family is a painful double blow. I do not have any advice but wanted to let you know I hear you.

Not a Fed but I sure do feel for you. Many companies have brought online workers back into the office. This is one way it's disrupting families. My DH worked from home when his mom (elderly and frail but no dementia) lived with us. Even with him at home, we eventually had to bring in outside help for a few hours each day. If he had to report to an office site, there would have been no safe way to keep her at home. I hope you find a good solution for your mom's care.

Not sure how much adult daycare might be, but I'd look into it.
