Freddo, I manage an apartment complex for the retired. I also have 16 years volunteering with elderly people. We have one couple, the wife has dementia. He is lovely with her, but she very much needs looking after. She now goes one day a week to a dementia group, so he has some time off. Find a support group, and be prepared to accept more professional help. Good idea to find out what facilities are in the neighbourhood, and what benefits are available. So when it comes to the point, your family knows where to turn to. IF it becomes too much for your father to look after her at home, a care facility is the right environment. Again, do not leave it to the time when it becomes a necessity and a decision needs to be made in a rush. Do not say to your mother, yes, you just told me about that. If she struggles to find the word, gently suggest a word. Wait for her to lead the conversation.
The topic of this video is very touching and it is great. Life is hard for me at times. Also, can you activate the English subtitles function, Thank . I am looking forward for both of video.
Hi Barry, the English subtitles appear when I click the CC button at the bottom of the video, they should work for you, and I'm glad you are enjoying the podcast.
I have fibro and back issues and hate the cold weather. One slip and fall could in back surgery
