@kjc48 Well said. I recently found that there is a daycare for seniors 7 miles for us. They have different programs offered 2 days a week open from 8am to 5pm for $1195 month. She said it runs about $15 an hour. Whereas day care to your home is $40 hour. I did call to get info and said we might stop by one day. I honestly don’t know if at this point my husband would be happy with that he just loves being with me and like you at what stage do you consider this? I would tend to look for some daycare in my home? One day at a time, I certainly would t take him if he didn’t like it?

Try out the respite care. Your spouse will probably not be too keen at first but will adjust.
YOU need respite for you.

@jeanadair123 All these golden nuggets from this coveted connect site. I stayed churned up over this, but this site actually helps anchor me every day, why I always try to post something of value. Many of us don't have enough friends - at this stage of our life - making it difficult to talk and get support. And even with friends or neighbors, I'm reluctant to say much about what's taking place with my husband's MCI. I found where I live it's a taboo subject, sad, since it happens to so many people that need friends, quality care and the love and compassion from others. Along with the caregiver, that needs that same love and compassion. So thank you for sharing about the daycare for seniors....I think we'll know when it's time to consider a day care. At least I hope so....
