Tender Loving Care

My Father-in-Law just recently passed away but for several years my husband was his daily care giver. We found him a great Assisted Living Center to live in but he had Alzheimer's so as the time went along with him it got harder and harder to care for him. We are thankful we found a good care home for him to live in even though he didn't seem to think he needed to be there and would get mad at us all the time telling us there was nothing wrong with him. I am told that went with his disease.

I wish we had been able to find somewhere where we could have gotten our needed answers to questions about the care of him. If this type information would have been available we would have been able to look at care options that were available for him. We could have received information and various tips from care experts. Plus I really think it would have been a great help for us to have some type of forum that would have allowed us to discuss our experiences with other care givers would have really helped with the daily stress involved in taking care of him. This type of help would have been very valuable to us over the 7 years of caring for his father.
