Hello my sister is suffering a breakdown due to divorce in process and caretaking of father with Alzheimer’s. She is at the point where further stresses cause her to explode - She has never had a good experience with therapists and now needs and wants to go someplace for a couple weeks where she can have daily therapy some-lace that’s not addiction treatment center but more of a spa atmosphere . Anyone have recommendations?
Thanks

I have been told there are outpatient programs where you go to a program in the day and home or hotel the rest the time. I would think there are spa types also. I can check.
There are agencies out there that can provide in home help. Not necessarily everyday but maybe a couple days to give her a break. If he is old enough Medicare will pay for these services. If not maybe the family could chip in and give her a break one day a week. If she looses it the family will have to pick up the pieces. Better to spend the time/money ahead of a disaster.
Thanks for your reply cutaway- it is encouraging. We do have someone Finally going in to try And help with him so hope that will relieve some of the stress. Sister is already in breakdown mode and feel like family is already falling to pieces so she needs some serious help ASAP as well.
