My Father has Alzheimer's Disease and I see him slipping away from me each day. It seems he just gets worse everytime we wake up. I am so tired and stressed out, I'm not sure what to do any more. Where can I find some help?

Do you have any siblings that can help? Is there any way you can afford to hire someone to come in and help on a regular basis? You need to take care of you if you are going to be able to help. Make sure you are eating well and getting regular exercise and time for yourself. I am sorry you are going through this. I would do a search and see if you could if you could find a caregiver's support

You may check with a local home health service. Your father may be eligible for respite care and have a home health aide to come to your home to sit with him while you get some things done or even to let you sleep if you need to. Check with his doctor and with a home health agency to find out if he's eligible.

Look around your community to see if there is some place that can provide some kind of respite care for you. If you don't take care of yourself, you'll wear yourself out.

Roland, you really need to find a way to get away and de-stress for your own well
