Caring for husband with dementia and movement disorders. Not sure if we should continue to get more medical equipment and assistance to keep him home or to move him into a group home or assisted living.
Deb, if you are asking the question, then I believe it is time now. You are recognizing that you are running out of steam and that is ok! In the past couple of months my Mom has been on a fairly sever decline, I have been taking care of her for almost four years. It is time, I am tired, and just cannot any more. Her placement will be on the 30th.
The guilt will hit you bad but you know when its time, only you. I have an interview with a senior agency tomorrow I can see my mom declining really fast so I need help. It will cost but to save myself and those around me this what I need to do. I feel good about it! I will be worthless to anyone including myself. Check out your options and go with your heart.
