I live in Oklahoma and my mother and stepdad live in Maryland. My stepdad is currently in a memory care facility with advanced Alzheimer's. My mother has a severe physical disability and has also recently been diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer's. My sister and her husband moved into my mother's home to care for her,…
Are there PAS/Caregiver/Attendant in San Antonio who is fluent in Korean to assist my 82-year-old mother on an hourly basis at her home in San Antonio (78239). There are larger Korean communities in Dallas, Houston, and Austin that I am aware of, but moving there is not an option. My mother has progressive dementia and…
I would like to hear from anyone who is dealing with a spouse or LO who has this dx. My husband has been diagnosed with cerebral amyloid angiopathy—which seems to be the cause of this vascular dementia. We have been married since 1994. He is 79. This dx has turned him into basically a different person. He is 6'10" and has…
GOOD FRUIT Galatians 5:22-23 New Living Translation 22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control.

So far I…

My mom has PCA, a form of Alzheimer's. She is only 59 but we have already seen a severe cognitive decline and she is unable to live on her own. She is in assisted living right now. They do offer activities throughout the day, but usually the ones in the afternoon are either too difficult for my mom to participate in or she…
A month ago my DH with mixed dementia ended up in the hospital. Nothing serious. From the hospital he went to a transitional care program where they adjust his medication because of his aggressive behavior and high anxiety. He has been there for a month and is much calmer and a lot less aggressive. He is also almost 100…
hi everyone, I’m pretty new on this forum especially posting a discussion so I’m not really sure if I’m doing this correctly. I live in upstate New York and I am my mom’s soul care provider. I moved my mother into my home eight months ago and I’m still trying to tap into NHTD waiver services in our area. Is there anyone…
Fellow travelers: I recently learned that a PWD may have progressed beyond a point where Memory Care will take them.
