One Year Later

August 2013 we get the Alzheimer's diagnosis for my Mom. Mild to moderate leaning toward moderate. We bring in a home-care companion to help her with the laundry (which she obsesses over) and both Mom and Dad seem to do better. There will be a period of adjustment. Though they like Helen, I think there are times when they wonder why she's there. The objective is to help them stay in the house as long as possible. It will be a journey.
