Caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s is exhausting — physically, emotionally, and cognitively. The Family Caregiver Alliance reports that Alzheimer’s caregivers experience higher rates of depression, sleep disorders, and chronic illness than any other caregiving group. Dementia respite care in Morristown, NJ from 24 HOUR Home Care NJ gives you the break you desperately need — knowing a dementia-trained, certified caregiver is with your parent, maintaining their routine, managing behaviors, and providing the specialized support their condition demands.
