My mom is in the advance stages of Alzheimer's, my dad is her main carer and he has to do everything for her now. My mom goes to day care twice a week but he wont have anymore help. He completely refuses to have anyone come to the house to help and I'm sure he will never change his mind on that. The last couple of months I know its getting too much for him to cope with, he's exhausted, getting snappy at everyone and is saying he's just going to leave. I think deep down he knows it may be time to start thinking of a nursing home but emotional he will not let himself consider it. My mom and dad have been married 49 years next month, they've never had their separate friends or separate hobbies, they've always done everything together. My dad can not cope with being apart from my mom and I just don't know how to help. He really can not go on but at the same time he cant be apart from her. I'm so worried he's going to collapse or make himself seriously ill. Would anyone have any advice how I can help? Thank you so much
