CAREGIVER NOTE:

Another long and late night. More questions about his finances. He’s not able to wrap his head around things and keep track. He’s worried he doesn’t have enough or that he’s not helping enough. I hope we were able to allay his fears a bit and show him that he was doing okay. That there was sufficient for his needs each month and a buffer for unexpected things. Today is another day…..

CAREGIVER NOTE:

New security system has been installed. So far, it’s a novelty to him, and he just asks a few questions here and there. Yesterday, he wanted to hear the doorbell. It’s very loud — we can hear it throughout the house. He likes the video thing too…. He thought that was cool. He hasn’t thought too much about going outside the last couple of days as it’s been rather chilly… but I do know there will be a day in the future that he may get out of the house for a little fresh air before I can catch him and we’ll be able to find him a little more quickly if that does happen.

CAREGIVER NOTE:

He learned that the house has been sold and all the t’s crossed and i’s dotted. The buyer starts moving in tomorrow. He’s not sure what to do now that he doesn’t have to worry about the house, property taxes, utility bills, etc. We didn’t realize how “big” those things were in his mind. Now to find something else to fill that space.
