Salutations
New here. My name is Joe, caring for wife at home.
No ability to attend group in person, I have been looking for an online group.
Happy to have found this site, real people communicating.
Just trying my best to take care of her needs, and get to the other side.
Recently read travelers to unimagined lands. The author pointed out the helpful results of the group support.
Don't have that, mostly going towards the negative as the road narrows.
Peace and love to you and yours.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Caregivers: Dementia Support Group.

Hello GW,
Our daily food schedule starts with my coffee. She doesn't look for coffee anymore.
I prepare cheese and bread (toast).
She cuts up fruit for our yogurt.
We usually go out to dinner, it gets her out of the house. It's expensive but it is our daily entertainment.
I am without help and this is what is working now.
There was a time when I would do the cooking but things have changed.

Joe,

You might find inspiration from reading a daily devotional like “Daily Comfort for Caregivers”, 365 Devotional Readings, 2009 Barbour Publishing.

As for meals, my husband and I have been using CookUnity, a weekly meal service that delivers Chef-prepared, fresh meals:

Best to you and your wife,
George's Wife
