I’ve been trying to better understand what this looks like when someone with memory issues is still living at home, even part of the time.

One thing that keeps coming up for me is how much uncertainty there is in between check-ins. You can call, you can visit, but there are still long stretches where you don’t really know what’s going on.

I imagine for people who are actually living this, that “not knowing” feeling can be pretty heavy.

I’m curious how you deal with that in practice.

Do you rely on routines, or do you have something in place that gives you more confidence day to day? Or is it just something you learn to live with?
