Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
You know youre a caregiver when you curse the sleeping tablets for not working but know that its your mum waking you up at 4am to go down stairs and make tea and you have to stay awake to make sure she makes it back up again safely then just when you think its safe to nod off again the cat wants out and its 9am and time to get up and do it all over again.
You know you are a caregiver when you get a voice mail at 3:31 a.m. saying "I looked in my frig and I know what is to come. God will punish you for this." ?????
You know you are a caregiver when you get another voice mail later saying, "I want an explanation for why you arranged for someone to put all that chicken in my freezer. I know you are trying to confuse me." ????? .
You know you are a caregiver when you figure the best answer is "Sorry mother, I thought it was a good idea, but I won't do it again." !!!!!
You know you are a caregiver if.....you stop telling your loved one that their shirt or pants are on backwards and/or inside out.....as long as you're not leaving the house.
You know you are a caregiver if....you have to repeat everything, at least twice. What? ......you have to repeat everything, at least twice. WHAT???? ...you have to repeat everything, at least twice!!!!!!!!
Or when he's wearing his eye glasses and finally ask me to help him look for it. When I tell him he's wearing it, he doesn't believe me and still keeps looking around the bed for it. As I approach him to show him his eye glass, I make it a point to show that I'm holding nothing in my hands. When I touch his eye glass, he looks surprised that it's there and says, "Someone is playing tricks on me! Trying to make me go crazy!"
Lwen, The glasses are on a chain around her neck, and sometimes two pair of them. Have to have at least one spare! I imagine they could begin to resemble leis, of Hawaii, if there are enough of them.
You go to check on getting ready for bed and she is trying to put pajama top on bottom, one leg in armhole, trying to get neck over hips and you patiently help her do it correctly. But then, you laugh to yourself about it later.
You know you are a caregiver when you see grandpa marching up and down the street with a broom sick over his shoulder yelling "The're coming the ******* are coming"
Good idea DaredToCare! Hope you can make a little bit of time. House a mess? Maybe they'll pitch in and help when they see you have an important project to do!
You know you're a caregiver if, you never leave your own glass or plate within arm's reach of anyone else.
You know you are a caregiver, if you've wanted to collect all the best comments from this thread and make it into a funny graphic/postcard. but you never actually have time. I still really want to try to pick out the best ten or so and make a graphic.
Last night I dreamed my mom was going to stay with my sister for a while, and in my dream I sighed with relief... but suddenly I realised my daughters were coming to visit and the house was a mess.
You know you are a care giver if you keep your OWN roll of TP, package of wet wipes, suppositories, powder, etc hidden in a box on the right side of the toilet, where Mom can't reach!
you know that you're going to have a quiet evening and night because your mom has been show timing BIG TIME at her doctor's appointment…poor thing will have no energy left by the time you get home!

You know you are a caregiver when you get another voice mail later saying, "I want an explanation for why you arranged for someone to put all that chicken in my freezer. I know you are trying to confuse me." ????? .
You know you are a caregiver when you figure the best answer is "Sorry mother, I thought it was a good idea, but I won't do it again." !!!!!
They say 'YOU" are trying to make them go crazy!
and you have found ways to make yourself innocent of the charges(crime)!
The glasses are on a chain around her neck, and sometimes two pair of them. Have to have at least one spare! I imagine they could begin to resemble leis, of Hawaii, if there are enough of them.
because they cannot find their glasses,
that are right where they left them bulging out of their pocket!
You know you're a caregiver if, you never leave your own glass or plate within arm's reach of anyone else.
I still really want to try to pick out the best ten or so and make a graphic.
Last night I dreamed my mom was going to stay with my sister for a while, and in my dream I sighed with relief... but suddenly I realised my daughters were coming to visit and the house was a mess.
OMG, I need a day off.
You know you are a care giver if you keep your OWN roll of TP, package of wet wipes, suppositories, powder, etc hidden in a box on the right side of the toilet, where Mom can't reach!
