We were hoping to find a day care center of some sort to use for a few hours a week for respite, but unfortunately it seems that there are none around that we could find. If anyone knows of one, PLEASE let me know!
There are several agencies that offer in home care and we had a good experience with the Comfort Keepers. I have also heard good things about Grannies Nanies.
Unfortunately, my Mom rebelled having a "babysitter" in her house, so we have any outside help on the back burner until it becomes a necessity.....not too far off.
Good luck with this horrible disease and know that you are not alone.

One thing missing in TV's is adult day care. I guess it just doesn't fit their image. The best place I have found (for my wife with AZ) is Prestige Manor in Bellview. It is an assisted living facility which accepts day care. I leave my wife there two days a week for 8-9 hrs/day and the cost is very reasonable ($50/day). Check them out @ 352-245-1005. Don S.
