the administrative load of elderly /dementia parents

[Aramox]

I'm finding the load of managing care for my parent absolutely overwhelming. She lives 'independently' with dementia and so every single thing has to be organised by me. GP, district nurse, social worker, carers, cleaner , hair, feet, nails - it's becoming unsustainable. Has anyone got experience of coping better? I feel like it needs a concierge or a PA! Would a live-in carer manage all this stuff - she could afford that for a while? I'm also looking at a move to assisted housing but I don't know if they'd give that kind of support? Or would a care home really be the only option to escape all the million different bits of care involved ?

You can still read reports and ask questions. People are still going into care homes. But they're not going in in such numbers, so you're more likely to get a place in the one you want.
