I’m 66 years old retired and have been married to a good husband for 48 years. I care for my 85 year old widowed mother every day. She is totally reliant on me to the point she can’t even make a cup of coffee for herself. I often get tired, depressed and frustrated at the level of care I provide whilst neglecting my husband and missing out on what should be our twilight years together
Hi Joan,
it sounds like your Mother needs a lot of support, no wonder you are exhausted.
Refer her to social services for a Needs Assessment https://www.carersuk.org/help-and-advic ... assessment
Do you think she would cope at home with visits from a care worker or has the time come for her to have residential care?
