I contacted the county agency on aging and they sent a list of adult day care facilities. There have been both plumbers and electricians working in our house this week, so it has been a bit hectic for me and I will call or go see some of the places next week. I can get out for a couple of hours, when I need to, so at least I can get errands done. He used to go for short walks with me, but now refuses because his hips hurt. I think sitting so much has contributed to that. He will help me, when asked, but that is limited. My daughter lives in the same city as we do, but she and her husband work full time and my granddaughter is working before she goes back to college. I did get information on respite support and need to look into that. I’m thankful I am healthy and have decided if I am not spending money on a vacation, I will spend some on things I want, both for myself and for the house. I will let you know, when we try out adult day care. It helps so much, just to “talk” with people who understand!

Oh Shirley, I do understand and I am new to being a caretaker! Our mental health, as well as our husbands, is just as important as our caretaking. We are on 24/7 and we deserve to have some free-time to ourselves without any guilt. This senior day care is a win-win for all of us!!

@shirleymac, how are you doing? Have you found suitable respite care for your husband to help you out?
