Yesterday, on Your Caregiving Journey, Nancy Hanley of My Health Care Manager, took your questions. (You can listen to our show via the player below). The questions she answered included:
1. I’ve been through so many home health aides! I need to find good help for my mom so I can go to work. I’ve had lazy aides, incompetent aides and aides with an attitude. Is it possible to find good help?
2. I want to keep my wife’s activity level and strength at the highest level possible. I have her participate in a few therapy sessions each week. The sessions exhaust her though! She’s exhausted the day after, as well. Am I pushing her too hard? I’m just not sure when to push and when to back off.
3. I’m just beginning to care for my father-in-law with Alzheimer’s. A sister-in-law told me that I should prepare for the day when my father-in-law can no longer live at home. I’m a bit upset thinking about this. Do you think it’s possible to care for someone with Alzheimer’s at home until they die?
