Moving In with Mom: Creating Personal Space as Caregivers

Two weeks after moving in to help Joe’s mom, the Rolling Rogans share a follow-up on caregiving life: navigating dementia-driven behaviors, creating safe personal space (an art room), adjusting sleep arrangements, and managing household upgrades. We discuss setting boundaries, preserving our relationship, building routines that balance mom’s needs with our own self-care (diet, exercise, medical plans), and practical fixes like lift chairs, air conditioning, and planning for backup power. Takeaways: -The importance of personal space in caregiving. -Self-care is essential for caregivers. -Creating routines helps manage caregiving responsibilities. -Finding balance between routine and spontaneity is key. -Communication is vital in partnerships. -Caregiving can lead to personal growth. -Future planning is important for sustainability. ❤️ Support the show: BuyMeACoffee.com/RollingRogans for one time donations and monthly subscriptions.
