[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you need to stop thinking of this in such all-or-nothing terms. It's not 24/7 residential care vs. no help. It's not leaving your DH vs everything stays the same. First, your DH needs to step up on spending time with her. He should be the one playing cards with her. If you need to exit the building and leave them alone together, do it. Second, you can hire a companion to sit with her. That will give her fresh social interaction and free you up to be elsewhere in the house resting or getting things done. If this person is just sitting with her and isn't responsible for meds, feeding, toileting, etc. and is never alone in the building, it's a pretty cake job and easy to find. [/quote]
