go to the social services or local health department they will help you find some support and a group you can go to. I know its hard my father has Parkinson’s and having to watch them like this really can break our hearts. good luck take care
Contact your local office of aging/senior services-they often offer caregiver support groups themselves and where they do not, they should be able to refer you.
Dementia is one of the saddest as well as most frustrating illnesses ever and it completely changes the roles within a family and can be emotionally exhausting. The constant need to repeat yourself because of the absence of short-term memory can sorely try your patience and it helps to be sure to give yourself breaks as well and have opportunities to get away with your own family now and then. My Mother has dementia as well and my Dad is her caregiver. Senior services has been invaluable in hooking him up with a respite worker too so he can get some time away as he refuses to participate in support groups.
Best of luck to you and your family!
