Adult Day Care

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I have another question - and will probably have quite a

few in the days to come. Hopefully I will be able to help someone else

in the future.

What do you do for care of your parent with LBD? I still have a 12yo &

14yo at home that I homeschool. We have classes that we attend on

Mondays, doctor appts through out the week, etc. My mother is only 68

and has been working, etc. Looking back, I see that she's had the

symptoms for quite awhile, and has been hiding them. She won't even

tell the doctors her symptoms. She just smiles real big and tells them

she feels great- and gets mad if I tell them the problems she is

having. Anyone that spends more than a few minutes talking to her

realizes that she is having problems though. I can't leave her alone,

and I can't do the work that I need to do, due to her wanting constant

attention. There is an Nursing Home that offers Adult Day Care in a

neighboring town. Has anyone ever used one - and how do you tell your

parent that they need supervision during the day - and that you need a

break sometimes?
