Colleen, thanks for your reply. I think my husband has had dementia for several years. We just ‘now got the diagnosis after a PET scan on his brain. I haven’t reached out to anyone except our children and they have very demanding jobs, not much time off, and really aren’t able to help much. They are willing, just don’t have the time. I was wondering if there is services that we don’t know about. I am 75 and have tarvid dyskinesia and can’t even take care of myself either. Do you know of any assistance? Appreciate your reply. Thanks again, Jennifer

Jennifer, the best place to start is the Alzheimer's Association. They have so much information from learning about dementia to support for the caregiver.

See their website here: https://www.alz.org/

There is a lot of information, so let me point out a couple of places:
Helpline: https://www.alz.org/help-support/resources/helpline
Find local resources: https://www.alz.org/help-support/resources/helpline

Check with your local Area Agency on Aging. Ours has been extremely helpful to those of us in this situation. There are resources available.
