I think you already have the answer by reaching out, as we as caregivers, are only as good as the care we give ourselves. I know as time goes on, my level of care will step up, although I can't imagine doing any more than I'm already doing. The stress and time involved in caregiving is unbelievable, and what I realize, is depending upon where my husband is in his progression, I will need help and I will have to get it. Getting help in helping him, I do believe, helps us as caregivers, and gives us a chance to not get drawn into the deep depths of depression everyday. That coupled with the MCI - alzheimers and/or dementia we're dealing with, is too much and too costly to our own health. Everyone's financial situation is different; I don't even know at what point you get home health care, and how that works. I know from watching a neighbor whose wife had dementia, he was in denial. Horrible to watch because she needed a much higher level of care than he was capable of giving her. A realization for me, if that ever happened to my spouse, I would provide the level of care he needed, until I couldn't do it alone.
