I would recommend some in home care , a health professional that can come in 2-3 times a week just to check on her . That takes some stress off you and more importantly a trained professional that can monitor the progression of the disease . Obviously her regular doctor stays in the loop .
Unfortunately if she lives long enough and the disease progresses you may have to consider 24 hour care , either in home or at a facility . As a working man it is very tough for you to provide around the clock care . We are currently in the same situation with my 93 year old MIL . She is in a very nice assisted living facility that also has memory care .
Everything I described above takes $$$ . Does she have good insurance ? I assume SS income anything else ? You might want to ask at a local assisted living facility what types of financial assistance programs are available for the elderly . Ask friends/neighbors if they are going through similar and what are they doing to cope/manage . I wish you luck on this painful journey .
