Caring for an ill or frail spouse? Do you feel run down and in need of some assistance?

Does your spouse need physical care that you can't provide or are uncomfortable providing?

Perhaps you feel disappointed that you no longer have a "capable" spouse. All these feelings are normal.

LIFE understands the burden caregiving for a spouse puts on you and the risks to your own health while doing the caregiving. Let us put your life back into balance. LIFE can visit you and your spouse to hear and see how things are going and offer practical solutions to lighten your load. We connect you with support and resources so you can continue to give care but not lose yourself.

Have you noticed your spouse has short-term memory loss? Is there already a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease?

Are you fearful of leaving him/her at home alone but unable to take your spouse everywhere you go?

How do you know if s/he is at risk?

LIFE knows that symptoms of dementia include: Disorientation, confusion, repetitive questioning, frequent mood changes, suspiciousness, sleep disturbances, wandering, agitation, and hallucinations.

LIFE can meet with you and your spouse and assess for memory loss and cognitive changes. If needed, LIFE can refer your spouse for a more comprehensive assessment with a neurologist or at a memory clinic. LIFE can support you in your emotional state and has many tools to help develop a plan of action and care.
