This page provides context about my mother’s health condition and the ongoing care challenges associated with it.
My mother lives with dementia, a progressive neurological condition that affects memory, cognition, and daily functioning. Over time, this has increased her dependence on supervision, routine support, and medical management.
Dementia affects not only memory but also safety, orientation, and decision-making. As a result, daily supervision and structured routines are required to reduce risk and maintain quality of life.
Ongoing care includes medication, periodic medical evaluations, and support services. These needs create recurring costs that must be managed alongside other family responsibilities.
