Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I don't know what it costs in May 2024, but by the time my late husband died in January 2022 it was $266/day. I wrote them a check monthly based on the number of days in the month and until COVID-19 lockdowns always brought it to them on the last business day of the month. During COVID-19 lockdowns, I mailed the check so it arrived by the last business day of the month. In a non-Leap year, that totals $98,952/year, or $8,246 for a 31-day month. It wouldn't surprise me if it is at least $115,000 to $120,000/year now.
My late husband was diagnosed with frontotemporal degeneration at approximately age 56.5 years old. I took early retirement to care for him at home (I was almost two years older than him). That was OK for a while. But while attending an FTD support group (there were simultaneous activities for loved ones w/FTD), the facilitator said, "There's an excellent adult day care program at XYZ Methodist Church, but that's probably too far away for many of you." I said, "I can drive him there in about 10 minutes each way. Give me the information." I enrolled him for 3 days/week, 6 hours/day. When they told me he needed a more intensive level of care, I looked around and found another adult day care. I enrolled him for 3 6-hour days and 2 8-hour days each week. Both were lifelines to us until he needed full-time residential care in a nursing home. Some states, counties, or municipalities might have caregiver grants to defray some of the cost of adult day care; the VA used to have it for veterans (I don't know the requirements because he never served in the military). I highly recommend an adult day care center if one is available and affordable for you, The Alzheimer's Association might be able to help find a support group for you as well. They usually have care for the person w/the Alzheimer's diagnosis. Some of the support groups exist for spouses or children w/early-onset Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. God bless both of you in this challenging journey.
I am and I am just so stressed and overwhelmed with everything. My husband also is incontinent since a prostate surgery 1 1/2 years ago and now with Dementia it's just so overwhelming. I try to be patient with him but at times he just wears me out with not listening to me about things he can do to help himself. He has had Therapists helping with exercising here at home and he cooperates with them, but he just won't help himself with me helping him when they are not here. He needs to get up with his walker and move around more and get himself to the bathroom before he has an accident with his depends overflowing! I'm just at my witts end. I want to be able to care for him at home, but Senior Services and any other agencies are happy to help if you have almost nothing and are on Medicare and or Medicaid, but if you own or have anything they say they can't really help much. It's just not fair!! I want to be able to have help to keep me from getting sick, myself!! I feel so alone!!
