[quote=Anonymous]OP, my mom took care of my grandmother with dementia (among other thing) until she died a month ago. It was NON STOP.  No break at night or during the day.  My grandmother didn't have a clear night and day and would be awake for hours during the night and nap during the day.  She could not go to the bathroom but in her mind, she did not need diapers.  Sometimes 10-12 times/day she would pull the diaper off and urinate or defecate all over the house.  On especially bad days she had no idea where she was, or who was caring for her so she would yell for HOURS at a time about how she is being beaten (never was) or how she hates everyone.  She needed feeding, bathing, dressing.  Also, patients like that are often very mean and will. try to make their care taker's life miserable.  Meaning, as soon as my mom tried to get some sleep my grandmother would start crying for water or how she wants to get up and walk.

So, $2000 stipend, quite frankly, doesn't even begin to cover it.  [/quote]
