About who needs care: My parents both have dementia, including Sundowners. They do not rise early and are resentful if awakened. They are both in need of daily reminders for medication. Dad resents anyone in his house, but he is physically sound and still drives, a little. Mom is more compliant and is the spouse in need of primary assistance: bathing, hair, dressing, laundry. She wears pull-ups. Provision for one healthy breakfast/lunch meal daily important, as they no longer remember how to cook. Elderly dogs present in household with attendant cleaning problems. My sister's family, including grandchildren, is present in Castroville TX where parents reside, so local support available for caregiver. Excellent English and personal resilience and patience in the face of dementia tantrum critical.
