Walking Our Own Path

"Two road diverged in the woods, and I, I took the road less traveled by.  And that has made all the difference."  Robert Frost

It seems to me that it does not matter how we choose to provide care for our loved one -- someone will find fault in the way we have chosen.   Therefore, we must decide what is right for us, and then do it.  Not that we cannot take feedback from people who love us and have our best interest, and the best interest of our loved one, in mind, but we must choose.  If we want to keep our loved one at home, then do it.  If we want to provide care in a care facility, then do it.  And, please, do not measure how you do things compared with others.  Every situation is different.  Every type of dementia is different.  Some people with some types of dementia can be managed at home.  Other types are far more difficult.  Let us be confident in the path we choose.
