Stage: AdvancedI am an only child. Two years ago my mom fell in her Senior apartment. We noticed some forgetfulness over the years, but didn't know realize the extent. She was diagnoised with dementia and needed a walker.She has lived with us now for two years. My husband has been a real support. We drive her to a Daycare for a few hours a day. We have a sitter from 4-8 Wed.and Fri.evenings.Date Night. It is getting to be a strain day in and day out.
