Caregiver

My DH, has Alzheimer’s and I am the caregiver. My fear is that I won’t know when the best time will come for an outside care giver to come in and assist or even when it might be better if he were in a facility with more care than can do. My desire is to have him at home as long as possible. He’s 81 and I’m only 70. I’m still very active, but I can tell I’m slowing down myself. So, because of his progression, I am concerned it won’t be long I will need additional help. How and where does one find the right caregiver? And is it better to bring someone in while he is still sort of cognizant of new people around, or is that sending the wrong message, that he can’t do anything? He has never been one to want people he hasn’t known long (or at all) around for any long length of time. But, we’re at a point where, if I leave to run errands or say go to a Dr appointment, he gets anxious if I’m gone to long (according to his thinking). I want to be prepared for what’s to come and keep him safe and cared for. So, knowing a resource for caregivers specifically for Alzheimer’s is important. Any advice? Thanks for listening.
