Dementia Care for Mom
I a struggling trying to find a good fit for my mother, She has a very large Menningenoma brain tumor (not cancer) which causes seizures (managed with meds) & Parkinson's Syndrome * not disease * also managed with meds. To top it all off she has dementia & I think is somewhat bipolar. She has lived with my husband & I for 10 months & it is becoming too much. I am killing myself trying to get her home ready for sale. She is 86 & I am 67. I retired last year to try to help her after my dad died. She now gets up at all hours of the night thinking it's morning & waking my husband up. He is sleeping downstirs in his man cave after knee replacement. I am so exhausted I sleep through it with my bedroom door closed & locked because I don't want her or her cat in my room waking me from my 4 hrs of sleep. She is high functioning compared to the few care facilities I have visited. 8K a month for a tiny room is insane. Are there any private homes that have just a few people with dementia? There were a group of excellent homes in NM for my grandmother but I find nothing like that here. Thank you in advance for any help!
