My husband is 84, and is suffering with both Alzheimers and Parkinsons. He is unable to walk without a walker and very weak. Has had heart problems in the past. He still knows everyone, and is able to carry on conversations, yet has lots of moments of confusion. Falls asleep all the time off and on.
What I most wanted to know is if there are volunteers from the Alzheimer's Society who would come into my home for 5 or 6 hours a day two days a month? Is there usually a charge? I just need that little "get away" time.
I look forward to reading more of your postings and glean some information. And just to know you are all here gives me a good feeling.
