Stan I just wanted to say that caring for a parent with memory (and behavioral) issues is super hard, and you asked for tips from your readers? My tip is ask for help. Hire help if you can, either a caretaker who can give direct care and give you a break, or other types of help, like with the other aspects of life that get neglected because taking care of your father is pulling your energies away from them. Try to free up as much time as you can so that you are left with time to connect with your dad, not just the responsibilities. Remember that you are human. Give yourself and your dad both a ton of grace. Best wishes.
