A distant relative cares for her husband in their home. She is early 80’s. He’s 90. In-home support services sends assistance a few days each week which is greatly appreciated. A few months ago, the wife (Grace) fell and sprained her arm. It was inconvenient, but she recovered nicely. Glen is becoming quite weak as time progresses. They have dinner together and Grace talks to him, not sure if he understands the conversation or not. Last week, Grace had another fall. This time she broke her foot. These are common occurrences for caregivers. Was she absentminded, was she paying more attention to Glen? For many reasons, caregivers decide to keep their loved ones in their homes for as long as possible. Is this the best choice? After a long discussion with family members, it is an individual decision. Glen is in the hospital. Grace is continuing to convalesce at home alone. Let me hear from you as you share caregiving experiences with the community.
