I wish there was an easy answer to everything. Many senior centers have volunteer assistance and is worth a call. When a parent has developed Alzheimers, even if they don't want strangers does it really matter? They won't know the difference between the caregiver and respite care giver. There becomes times when a caregiver needs to recoup. As I said, what a tough challenge. Balancing a parent's emotional needs with a caregivers emotional needs. Money can help with services but when the money just isn't there even special housing is out of the question. We all understand when touched with being a loving child to a loving parent.
