Time for Memory Care

My husband is 73 with Parkinson’s and dementia. His dementia has progressed to the point where I cannot leave him at home alone. He has trouble finding the right words, needs help dressing, is confused a lot of the time and is getting depressed - and quite frankly so am I. I need help. I am trying to arrange that. One son wants me to put him in memory care, but my husband is so dependent on me. How can I do that? He would hate me! So far one thing he always remembers is people and the past. It seems weird to have someone come to my home - are there adult daycare centers in Rochester?

I could have written your comment; my heart is breaking!
My husband and I have always been so devoted to each other. But he has become so difficult for me to handle in the late afternoons and nights.
No one should ever have to make that horrible decision to put a loved one in memory care, especially a spouse.
