Sorry to know what you are dealing with.You need
"Respite care". There are caregivers, who if hired or sent in by Hospice agency, that can provide you a break in caregiving.

I need one for my husband who is 81 and is my only caregiver now.

Please call Dept of Aging in your State and get help.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for caring. I do get respite one afternoon a week, over my wife's protest, and it helps a lot. Especially vital to sole caregivers.
