Re: Old parents

Super late to this post but you should talk with her about organising respite care. Even if you've all decided not to move him to an assisted living facility, there are programs that can take him temporarily so she can have a nice weekend away.

Respite care is really important for carers. I say this as someone who has a family caregiver. I make sure my family member sees friends and goes on trips and gets out to concerts and sports events. If your dad isn't as aware of the stress this is putting on your mother, she needs to be aware herself and not trapped in the house with him.

Honestly, needing a carer when you're used to being independent is pretty miserable too. He still needs purpose and social interaction, and choice and dignity in his care.

I would recommend you talk to an aged care advocate about options and any help available.

And I'm super late in replying. :-)

Thank you so much for this perspective, and good on you for looking out for your caregiver!

Respite care is definitely something that would help my mom a lot, we will look into it.
