[quote=Anonymous]Caregiver stress is real and quite frankly, deadly. My mom died rather suddenly a few months ago in her independent living apartment within a higher end CCRC. Still, she had 24/7 CNA care (fall risk, frail, med management) and my two siblings and I still had a tremendous amount of daily work to manage on her behalf including visiting her. I ended up quitting my job because to care for her was all-consuming - I kept having to take leave to get her to appointments, make phone calls, manage a crisis du jour plus we sold our childhood home.
