Care Plan

My mom is bedridden with dementia. Should I try to get her up daily?

What Will Happen If I Can't Continue to Provide Care?

I've been caring for a loved one for quite some time now, but lately, I've been worried about what might happen if I can’t continue to do so. It's not something I like to think about, but it’s been on my mind. I wonder how others have prepared for this possibility. What steps have you taken to ensure your loved ones are still well cared for, even if you can’t be the one providing it? I’m curious about approaches others have taken and what options might be available. Share any insights or plans that helped ease your worries!

How do you guys keep up with changes in your family member's health and adjust their care over time?

It seems like every time I turn around a new issue pops up with my wife's health. One week, it's her blood pressure, the next her arthritis acting up. I'm constantly playing catch-up. How do you all stay on top of everything and know when it's time to change things up care-wise?

Does anyone have a good system or care plan I can follow to stay on top of everything with my dad?

Just moved Dad in with us after his last hospital stay. He's got diabetes and early dementia. I'm totally overwhelmed trying to keep track of all his meds, appointments, and care needs. I tried making a spreadsheet but it's already a mess. Thought I would ask the community here.
