How did you find good home care assistance> I would like to know more about that. My husband is in a VA facility and I would like to bring him back home but know at my age I cannot do it alone. And there is no one else to help me. He has been in a facilit for 3 months with problems there with him not very happy at times. Would appreciate any advice you can give me.

I'm afraid you misunderstood; I'm trying to deal with placing my dear husband in a memory care facility. Home care was not an option for us because the problem is he doesn't know who I am at times and wants me to leave unfortunately it usually at night. A stranger in the house isn't going to help.

I was able to bring my wife home knowing that I would need help from home health care folks. She is stable now but I know that will most likely change and I will bring on more help as needed. I know that is not an option for a lot of caregivers but as long as I am healthy that is our plan. I am thinking this may be years rather than months so my son and I will plan accordingly.
