SCRC'S Caregiver of the Month Spotlight: Suzanne
Suzanne is a devoted daughter who moved from the Bay Area to San Diego to assist her mother with her father’s care after he suffered a bad fall. She schedules and arranges transportation for doctors’ appointments, does the grocery shopping and prepares their meals. She also tends to the house and backyard spaces. It hasn’t been easy to navigate all that dementia brings, especially the many unexpected challenges but she is glad that she is able to assist her family throughout these difficult times.
“It was a gift to find SCRC. Their support group for adult children who are caring for a parent has been very valuable. Hearing from others going through similar experiences, being able to have a space to share our ups and downs and receiving helpful suggestions to my situation has given me the strength I needed.”
