Hi, sorry to hear of your situation, I'm a caregiver too. I have been taking care of my younger brother ( he has brain damage since he was 2 years old..He has lived with me for 49 years. Our parents passed away when he was 19 yrs old.. My husband was very understanding at the time and of making the decision of Group Home or with family.. we chose to keep him out of the Group Home then. My Husband passed away 4 yrs ago.. Now it is just me.
At times it gets to be very difficult for appointments and caring for him. He is 68 years old now. I understand what you are going through. I too love my younger Brother very much. Sincerely, Sylvia

@2109 Welcome to the caregiving pages of MayoClinicConnect. I’m asking @johnbishop for help in finding the pages that might be of help and interest to you. May I ask you a few questions? You have cared for your brother for 49 years—did you and your husband have help? Do you have help now? Please tell us more. So many on this site would love to learn what’s worked and what hasn’t.
