Is this IHSS?
I want to know this . If you can give me some more information , I appreciate!
It seems that every time I visit this is happening more and more. It worries me that it will happen more and more. He was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2015. He is 76 years old.
In my case, she would go through phases of sleeping more and more, then she would suddenly be awake all the time for a day or two before returning to the previous pattern
I would add that the sudden… read more
