Plus you have to remember the anger is not really him. This disease is so confusing as it changes your person but not completely! My daughter reminds me all the time with caring for my husband, I'm dealing with the emotions from disease ; not my spouse as I knew him! Like taking your toddler to daycare when you go to work! Hang in there! A sitter for home could help!
My husband goes to Adult day care one day a week, too. The bus picks him up and brings him home. I think he likes it. He needs the social interaction. It gives me a moment to myself.
My spouse resisted everything until a neuropsychologist team changed her medication. The change was amazing and very welcome. Get someone in that field to help you.
I took my 71 yr old husband who has FTD to visit our local Sr Center but they said I had to stay there with him the whole time. It was a nice place, but his condition is obviously far more progressed than the people there. So I get it.
I was hoping to find Adult Day Care, but there is not one in our area. So now I have a Caregiver who comes 4 half days a week to give me a break. It is expensive, but worth it.
I tried several times to bring John to the Naples Senior Center Memory Care Program. Staff were great and the programs might have been stimulating for him if he agreed to stay. He didn't. Maybe he's not impaired enough. He didn't like being in one room and not being able to walk about freely. So I went and picked him up and he complained that the program was boring and the other people attending seemed to be asleep. If he is at a more progressed stage we may try it again. Worth a try for sure.
