A year ago, my dad lost his job and we found out he has vascular dementia. This week, we are looking for memory care centers for him to move into. This shit moved so fast. It’s actually frightening. From working in 2024 to completely unable to care for himself a year later.

Too young to be shifting into a caretaking role for your folks. Blessed he has you and your mom looking out for him. Sorry to hear of his decline.

It’s scary man. He was an engineer. He used his brain every day at work. I have always thought being a really active thinker and using your brain was preventative for dementia, but it seems not. It’s mostly been my mom caring for him with me and my brothers helping when we can. But it’s too much now. He needs round the clock supervision.
