Why my parents were both struggling my father agreed (because he was the caregiver for my mom with Alzhiemers) to have a helper come into their home to do dishes & laundry & even prepare food for him. He fought it at first but very soon realized he really appreciated the help. Having a friend from church (who was a retired caregiver) gave us an extra set of eyes on them. Since I was on their accounts already I was able to write the checks which took the sting out of it for my father.

I stopped by a local Hospice office. They had a list of sitters in the area.

Care.com I found. Great caregiver

Visiting Angels is great if you have them in your city.

I agree--Friends and neighbors and church friends are more ready than you think to step up!
