How not to fall into the bottomless pit of
"I can do it myself"
As soon as you see the symptoms start visiting places and put them
on the list. The good memory care places take years to open .
Another way to get your foot into the door is to join things
like day care or caregiving meetings there-
That way they know you and your person.
Thinking you will never place them is a fantasy...
like a drowning person they will pull you under and kill you.
The husbands where my mom is all share a table with their wives and
socialize as they feed them.
Having your loved one in a home allows you to stop being a caregiver
and return to being what you were - a husband, wife, daughter, son....
I liked this video because it reaffirms my knowledge of what is to come.
One step at a time...
Please watch while you can.

Mom is ninety one !
Still getting around , confused but good attitude
They had cake there so I made sure to get some for her to enjoy
and boy did she ever!
The thing around her neck is what they use as a bib. It is like a scarf
made of fleece - lots of patterns to choose from.
She has nail polish and clean hair, so happy they take good care of her.
