Diane B
"Feeling scared, alone and exhausted. My husband was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer’s about 6 months ago. On April 14 of this year, he was in hospital for a serious infection and other symptoms. He was hospitalized for 7 days followed by 3 weeks in rehab. His Alzheimer’s symptoms were aggravated and now he is further along with the dreaded disease. He is now at home receiving home care and I am just overwhelmed! "
Diane B - That is so much to deal with! I know that it can be hard to find a balance with so much going on. I found this article that might help a bit. It provides some simple, but important, ideas for new caregivers https://alzheimersdisease.net/living/advice-for-new-caregivers.
