It is absolutely who you know. I am so happy to have meet the young ladies responsible for ensuring caregivers actually get the funds available, no strings attached, no hoops to just through just real financial assistance for caregivers.
As stated, many times, I have been taking care of my mom over 13 years and have NEVER gotten any sort of financial help, so I have been a real advocate when it comes to finding "funding available" for caregivers.
I've added the link below, of course you can go on your own to the caregiver support options it's many clicks or you can give me a call. Current funding: 1. money for respite or daycare $1000, electric bill $800 and more. 2. funding to help bring your loved one home from assisted living and money to pay for in home care.
FREE! Dental Extractions
Services are not based on salary or insurance type, everyone is accepted.
Absolutely wonderful, super friendly dental team. After spending over $2000 on mom's dental work, with her insurance, there was no more disposable income for the other 2 extractions. Monarch Dental Office referred me to WaterMark, a true blessing, information worthy of sharing.

Sliding Cabinet Locks
As most of you know, I am an Amazon Prime Queen. Being a caregiver is rough. My current stage with mom is that she forgets that she has eaten a full course meal withing 1 hour from consumption. Also, if I leave 6 bananas on the counter, she will eat 6 bananas. I put the lock on the pantry and now I will only leave 1 banana out. A journey only a caregiver can understand. God bless us all.
Animated Robotic Therapy Dogs & Cats
Therapy pets have a remarkable effect on women (and men) in the middle and later stages of Alzheimer's disease. They are calming, soothing and bring the person back to a time in their life when they felt useful and had a sense of purpose, when they were caring for a young family member. Alzheimer's pets help patients escape from a world where someone is always caring for them.
Eating & Sleeping
Most common side effects from Dementia are loss of appetite and trouble sleeping.
Hunger Up from Amazon and Sleep Aid at Costco has worked wonders for my mom. Sometimes over-the-counter works best when they are already taking so many doctor prescribed medications.

Meals and Memory: How to Use Food to Support People Living With Dementia
The connection between food and memory is well-documented. For individuals living with dementia who often experience memory loss and disorientation, familiar foods can trigger memories of specific events, places or people. For example, the scent of ghee-laden parathas or the sight of turmeric-colored curries may evoke memories of childhood kitchens, family celebrations or community gatherings.
