Struggling with partner who has dementia

Hi i am a senior carer who works with many dimentia sufferers and understand how difficult life can be for you at the moment.

It largely depends on how much your husband can retain from what you said he may not realise that you have been gone all afternoon ?

Have you thought about getting a sit carer to stay with him while you are away ? 

I have done this many times for families to attend appointments and none have ever asked me where they have gone as we have been too busy with activities.

Not sure if this is helpful x

Hi Chazmun 

This must be so difficult for you. Try and get some help with your partner just untill you are better as it's important that you look after yourself now as your partner needs you too.  Thinking about you take care X

Thanks, the carers we have now will be increasing their visits to 3 or 4 a day once treatment starts which will be a big help

Glad you are more sorted ans it will take a weight off your mind wont it . Good luck with your treatment.
