He deserves a caregiver of the year award! Maybe I'll talk to my husband about sending dad on a vacation for a week, or even just the weekend, because he deserves a break. He takes care of her 24/7 without any help, besides me every week for a couple of hours. My dad has been taking care of my mom who has dementia for seven years now.

"10 Ways to Celebrate National Caregiver's Month"......and I think pampering for caregivers would be high up on the list. Massage, pedicure, manicure, facial, maybe even a makeover. And, a homemade gift certificate from a family member that allows the caregiver to take a break when necessary. The caregiver can get out of the house for a couple of hours when she needs to leave...simply by giving the gift certificate to the family member. :-) You know, I think this could be its own article! “10 Ways to Celebrate National Caregiver’s Month”……and I think pampering for caregivers would be high up on the list.
