Looking for a place I can take my husband for a day or two so I can do some things like get nails done and not take him with me. Suggestions?

I second the notion of hiring an agency caregiver for a regular schedule of weekly relief. You get the best people if you can commit to 25-ish or more hrs per week. Having a regular schedule allows you to reclaim more of a "normal" life for yourself socially, and in other ways. Your hubby will eventually need more extra outside care so if you establish a relationship with someone from an agency it will probably take a little while before you land "the right person". If you go this route please try to get him a male: this protects his dignity for hygiene issues and provides a companion at the same time. I wish you all the best in getting some relief!

Respite care used to be easier to locate, but, covid has changed so much. Maybe, someone will be able to suggest something.
