Seriously???? Real life as being a sole caregiver you are basically a prisoner in the house 24/7 except for going to the grocery store and pharmacy for 15 minutes. There is no time for you especially when dealing with dementia and incontinence. This all sounds good in theory and if you have the money to pay for help, however if there isn't money you are basically on your own and have no life, joy, or hope.

C you are so right!!!! I’m there, taking care of my mom with Parkinson’s Dementia for the past 5 years,,,,I don’t know who I am anymore. It’s a difficult depressing situation.

Caregiver stress can quickly lead to burnout, depression, and other serious health concerns. It's crucial to form a strong network of support including respite care. Additional resources for caregivers can be found here: www.ngcare.com/resources/
