“The encouragement we received during these classes (Care Partner Support Series) as well as the information gained have been invaluable to us. We have shared this resource with many, as we wish we had known of all this sooner. My brother and I will finally be getting together in the coming week to get more of a plan in place for him to be more actively involved in the future. We plan to meet with Jen shortly after to look at care facilities so that Dad can be placed on a waiting list should that need become a reality in the future. Mom is now ready to take that step, if needed, but also encouraged by the recent changes in that it may not be as soon as we feared it would be a few short months back. We credit that to the help that all of you have given us. So many people seem to “back away” when this diagnosis occurs for fear of not knowing how to help, or not wanting to intrude if willing to help. The problem with that is most of us in this situation really don’t even know how to begin to ask for help, or where to seek that help. These sessions really were a help to us in beginning to be able to figure out what we really need and how to articulate that so we can begin to find those solutions and create that “team” that mom needs to support her moving forward with dad’s care. Thank you so much for all that you have done and are continuing to do”
