I spoke about my husband before on this forum. His Alzheimer's diagnosis was in 2019. Things weren't too bad until recently but I have seen decline in the past year and a half. Lately he was always asking about his mother. I did make up stories to ease his mind. Now the evenings into wee hours of the morning are getting worse. Last night he talked about her all night and wanted to know why she moved but didn't let him know. Plus worrying about how he has no money and can't help me pay the bills. I've been reassuring him all along not to worry and that I have been taking care of everything. He just is not mentally there anymore. Today was the first day I helped him take a bath, because he almost fell in the shower the other day. I ordered a shower seat for him. I am pretty sure he is in stage6 of dementia even though he is not bedridden or incontinent. He is 79 and I am 68. I am so exhausted from lack of sleep and caring for myself. Would love some input on this subject and thank you.
Your husband will most likely go through a period of rejection or adjustment before he acclimates to a new person in the house. You can tell him the helper is there for you.
