Advice Please

[newpasturesgreen]

Hi. I'm just wanting some advice. My Dad has Alzhiemer's. I have POA and I have sorted out carers.

It's been three years since he was diagnosed and I am overwhelmed with everything. He still lives in his own home with a family member who also needs some help.

I work full time and it's constant things to sort out with not much help from any other family members. They can't or won't help.

I have actually looked into moving away as I have had enough. People say I need to put myself first but if I don't do things they won't get done.

Any advice would be appreciated as it is not doing my mental health any good

Just to add as well that the parenting wasn't great so if I sound resentful that is why

I think you need to involve social services or at least look at employing a carer who can take some of the burden off you.

I already have carers in place but they can't do everything in the house

You don’t sound resentful, it is an awful disease that affects everyone around them.

without knowing the types of things that you are doing it is hard to give ideas on what can simplify your life. The most useful thing I did was to get mobile banking.
