I am caring for my mom along with my dad. I do work full time and my dad takes care of her during the day and I come every night. My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in April of 2025. I am hoping that this group will assist me in finding in home care for her to relieve my dad for a few hours a week to provide a break for him. It will be nice to hear what others are doing so we can support each other.
