I am all alone in this and just not sure what I am doing. I need a break. Would like to see my granddaughters. Sometimes he seems so normal and the next minute he wants a bike. Can’t hardly walk. Will home health help with taking him to the drs? So many issues I can’t name them all.
thanks for listening
Tomorrow morning, call your local Area Agency on Aging, sometimes part of the Department of Human Resources or Jobs and Family Services in your county. Tell them you are your husband’s caregiver and you need help. They will assign you a caseworker who will come to your home and asses your situation and your husband’s needs. They will be able to offer you help. Sending hugs. I know this isn’t easy.
This forum helps I will call and see what I can. Thanks so much for responding.
You don’t need permission. You need a caretaker. So follow the guidelines given and do it with a sense of urgency. Your life depends on it.
Put your grands on your calendar. Make a date, line up the caretaker and go.
Do this on a regular basis. Taking care of you IS taking care of him.
