Relationships between parents and their children aren’t always picture-perfect, and as people grow older they can change for the better or for the worse. Caregiving an aging parent isn’t an easy feat, but it can be much more stressful if the parent has dementia.
Unfortunately, there is no way to predict how long the adjustment period will last. It can take days, weeks, or months.

However, this process alone comes with an additional set of risks not associated with infection.
