A big man with Alzheimers, his wife suffers from Parkinsons, she's small and frail. Caregivers were hired by son during the day, however they are on their own at night. The husband is quite active through the night having to go to the bathroom and unable to do this on his own wife assists and this is occuring 5x's a night plus he is disrobing etc. The son isn't aware of this situation but she tells me daily of her struggle with assisting her husband. Should I tell the son? I am one of her caregivers.
I never knew my Dad would get up at night until he had a night caregiver who stayed awake throughout the night... she would write in the Agency diary that he got up 3 times during the night to use the bathroom.
