My best friend became the primary caregiver for his mom in his early 20s, and seeing how lonely that was made me realize how hard dementia caregiving can be when you don’t have people around who understand it.
My family also went through this with my grandmother recently, and the biggest thing that helped was having people to talk to who had been through it too.
We moved to Vegas a few months ago and have been trying to find local support/community for families dealing with dementia. If anyone here has been through this, I’d really appreciate hearing what helped you.
We also started a small private FB group for Vegas families/caregivers just to connect and share support — no fees or anything like that. Here’s the link if it’s helpful: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18qBxbVfCD/
