Nine years I cared for Mom and Dad everyday. In 2009 we moved them into my home with a private room and sitting room. They were happy there for two years together until Dad passed away in 2012. Mom was good there until her Alzheimer's progressed to the point she wouldn't sleep and required 24 hour nursing. So on March 20th she fell and had a tramatic brain injury. After a brief hospital stay she came home with Hospice of the Valley support. I cared for her as long as I could but once my health was in jeopardy it was time for her to go where she could get 24 hour nursing care. So she is now at GlenCroft Care Facility. I visit nearly everyday.
My life has entered a new phase. Now I care for other people's mothers as a in home caregiver. I'm working 40-50 hours a week as a caregiver. Plus I am working another 20 hours as a Public Relations rep.
