My Family and I are about to take a well deserved respite vacation. My Wife and I have been fulltime caregivers for my Father for the last two years. My Mom had light memory challenges - enough to remove her ability to live independently.
My Father is under Hospice care with his stage of Alzheimer's and with that, they provide care or a facility for him so that the Family can have a respite.
We, the rest of us - my Wife and 2 kids (5 & 7) and Mom - will be vacationing at WDW for 8 days. We have planned this since June.
My Mom was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's and her short term memory loss is severe. Once the assistant in caregiving, is now in need of assistance.
I apologize for the length, but I am not sure what kind of things are available to help at WDW.
We have a pretty good itinerary set with a CNA coming out for three days. We are on the deluxe meal plan, staying at the Poly; but am trying to see how to work the CNA in. Is there something that WDW does in this situation?
We have tickets for my Mom to everything - everyday, but ofcourse, she cannot make it all day; so we have the nurse. Is there a program or cheaper ticket for the nurse? Or, am I stuck at paying full price for the tickets and ala carte for her meals? We are already paying a great deal by the hour.
Thank You All in advance for your assistance!!!:confused:
