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.

Hello, I am new to all of this
I read your post and had a connection. I do have a mom who has moderate to severe timers Dad, who has a chronic lung condition does help care for Mom in my absence before her seizures. Now she requires 24 hour Care we’ve been using different companies to come in to help in the house but just trying to find balance and allowing my dad to have those brakes and myself is super important even if it means having the Caregiver company come and you take a nap.0
