My father has dementia. He lives with my mom in their home, and my mom is his primary caregiver- I am his secondary caregiver. About a year ago he started having issues with incontinence. A few months ago he was determined to be mid- stage dementia. After many months of urging my mom, she agreed to hire a part time…

Is there a checklist somewhere? ugh, I don’t know where to start. I…

He has very brittle diabetes and has just been upgraded from the Libre2 to the Libre3, which is different in many ways. The sensors look like little buttons and have a small part that goes under his skin. He's…

It is common for family members and loved ones to find themselves thrust into this nightmare completely unprepared and ill-equipped for it. Sadly, much will be damaged or completely…
