My boss's wife had Alzheimer's for 14 years, and I saw what he had to go through especially in the past few years. He had a paid Caregiver 12 hours a day during the day, and he would take over the night shift for 12 hours. Quite a few time he wasn't able to come to work because the Caregiver was home with a sick child who was out of school, or the weather was too bad for her to come into to his home. Then he had to care for his wife all day Saturday and all day Sunday as the Caregiver needed the weekend off to be with her own family.
There are agencies where you can call and hire an Aide or Caregiver. Or you can check with your local Council on Aging and they can direct you to places that can help.
