Sometimes it is really difficult, even when you keep in mind they're not driving you crazy on purpose. If anyone is going through this please share a sentence for support.

    Taking care of the dementia patient is so much hard for anyone. It's not because we do not have any resources or something else, it is because we are not so experienced. That is why home care services are there who can provide 24/7 care services to the people whenever they need.

    I worked for a carer service for three years (stopped due to move 6 months ago) and loved my dementia clients. Please find out what help/funding you can get. You need to preserve your emotional health and physical well being.
