More information is needed. It sounds like you may need to separate your assets so he can qualify for Medicaid and get a placement in long term care in a nursing home.

Shirley, my Mom had no physical problems and was only on blood pressure meds when she went into LTC for Dementia. From what I unserstand, the resident only needs to be 65 and needs 24/7 care. There were a number of residents in the same boat as she was. Lots odpf residents walking around.

What you have described about your husband is a full-time job, 24/7.
Of course, you are needing help.

Can you tell us more?

How long have you been doing this?

Your husband may qualify for some caregivers through the state or through the VA if a veteran.

You will need to research this locally in your area. Rules for this will vary by state.

If not you will need to pay for caregivers yourself for the hours you are working.

Best wishes to you as I have 2 bipolar siblings.

ADHD in adults is often accompanied by alcoholism, and dementia in someone so young is sometimes the long term alcoholism kind, Korsakoff syndrome. Is that your situation? More information will definitely help. Your situation sounds so hard and I feel for you.

Have you considered placing him in a facility? Even at his age he may benefit from it and you will be able to work and rest.
