Hugs to you and to all of US. My husband is in the early stages. 77 with diagnosed Mild Cognitive Impairment. Our biggest challenges- his loss of executive function, inability to calculate or even alphabetize but still fairly independent during the day. At night it’s been hard. When it’s dark he gets confused about time and if he has somewhere to go the next day he gets up in the middle of the night to shave and get ready. It could be 2 hours after falling asleep or 4:00 in the morning. Hence my sleep is affected and his anxiety is getting worse. I do have to remind him to shave and shower when he has nowhere to go. So it’s just beginning but I am looking to put a deposit down for a full continuum of care community hoping we can wait the 4 year waiting list and hoping we can both be in independent living, but realize I may need more services as we go along. If anything happens to me, my children will not be able to dedicate their lives to managing care. God bless you who are taking care of your parents.
