I Felt Like a New Person
"It didn't take long for me to feel overwhelmed when my 80-year-old mother moved in with me. With all the worrying she would have another fall, I felt like I was running my own nursing home. My Care Consultant talked with me about my stree and ways to get a break. Without this information, I wouldn't have known about the resources available. I still laugh about the first day I got some time away! I felt like a new person."
Forgetful, But Not Fearful
“My husband’s memory started to deteriorate a few years ago. The more forgetful he became, the more I had to do. After I landed in the hospital stressed and exhausted, I knew I needed help. When I called the Care Consultant, she helped me come up with a plan for getting a break and learning more about what was happening to my husband’s memory. Getting some time away has made a world of difference, and knowing what to expect with his memory calms my fears.” |
