[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure your dad’s cognitive challenges are minor? Could you provide some respite and assess how he is really doing?[/quote] This. He may be worse than you realize. It is incredibly stressful to live with someone experiencing dementia. The constant vigilance, the worry, the repetitive questions, the difficulty of conversation and of doing anything at all. It's really really hard. I would look into a day program for him, or having him move. Take your mom's needs seriously. Go visit for a longer visit, so that they forget their best behavior and you see how it really is.[/quote]
