Have you tried Hospice. They aren't just for "nearing the end". They have aides and nurses to come in and help. They supply diapers, Chuck's, wipes and gloves. Check them out.

If he qualifies for Medicaid there is help with Respite, Meals on Wheels, Daycare Centers, Home Health and several other services. Medicaid is very hard to get. I'm not sure if an extended care insurance policy covers Day Sitters. Best wishes to you. My Mom is about Stage 6 and God has blessed me by not having to work. Stay strong,

Talk to your local Hospice. They care for Alzheimer patients now.

I've discovered that unless they qualify for Medicaid or are a veteran, you have to do private pay. Sitters and Adult Day Centers in my area average $24 per hour. Hope this helps.

If you could get him enrolled in a Daycare program, perhaps you could divert some of your funds to evening caregivers? Our community has one that includes lunch and transportation. We had to place Mom in assisted living because I couldn't keep up with it and she refused to move to my home. I slept at night for the first time in a year. Good luck and try to take care of yourself.
