I am not sure what I should do when it comes to caring for my father. Heās healthy right now with no diagnosis, but he turned 60 back in January and the family history of early onset Alzheimerās/dementia is strong. My siblings and I survive on low incomes in a HCOL area, my father saves for retirement but he is not a high earner himself and he got started late, so he will likely not have enough money to retire. He has a wife whom I want to believe will be there for him if a challenge such as dementia presents itself, but I believe that it is unwise to live happily unprepared because āhis wife will be there for him, everything is going to be fineā. My siblings and I love him very much, heās done so much for all of us, but the unfortunate truth is that none of us are in a position to support even ourselves let alone our potentially ailing father. The most we could do is try our best to be there physically as caretakers, but we would likely have to uproot our careers to do so. Any input is appreciated, thank you!
