@Paperweight and
@Grannie G you have given me an idea.
I mostly think of respite care as something way in the future - my husband is gentle and a sweet man - but I get exhausted by the constant needs, the crazy talk, (agree with everything) and the need to plan every hour etc
So I was thinking I could go to a care home and see if I could pay for a days care - respite - but take him home in the late afternoon before The sundowners starts . It’s only about $70 a day I think - and there may be no obligation to stay overnight. I could really see then if they can manage and entertain him and if he likes them enough to go back again. Just need to make up a clever babe for why he is there ??
