[quote=Anonymous]Definitely put it on the neighborhood listserv. My mom is a widow and my dad had a neurogenic disorder for years before he passed away 3 years ago. Slow decline and eventually she was his total caregiver. She is VERY familiar with what you describe. Anyways, she has 3-4 people that live nearby that she visits to "check up on" so that their spouse can be out of the house. One is someone my dad knew and my mom pops by twice a week with "food she made too much of" or "broken Christmas cookies" or some other excuse. Then she stays there for a couple hours just talking or watching TV or something similar and the spouse gets a little reprieve. [/quote]
