“possibly due to cleaning such a large home by herself?”
Being a primary care giver is physically draining. For a care giver for someone with diminished cognitive ability much more so.
We tend not to realize we can’t do everything we used to do when we were younger. It’s important for children to be aware and intervene when that happens. The care giver may not be able to make the leap.
My mom developed dementia when Covid first started, I had to move into her home and rent mine out!! There was NO WAY I was going to put her in a facility with NO ONE allowed to visit ect. I have to tell you it was the MOST difficult task I have ever taken on in my life!! It was 3 year before she passed she was 92 when she passed!! I had a hospice nurse visiting 3 times a week to advise me on her care I can not believe that NO ONE was visiting that home to advise the wife on his care!! If a nurse had been visiting the home the nurse would have also realized just how sick the wife was and gotten her help!! They had PLENTY of money WHY would the wife do this???
