Two generations living with Alzheimer’s disease bond under one roof – Optimum Senior Care – Chicago In Home Caregivers – www.OptimumSeniorCare.com
Jeff Borghoff, 53, an Alzheimer’s Association National Early-Stage Advisory Group alumnus, is living with Alzheimer’s disease. He had to give up working, meaning his wife, Kim, is the family’s sole breadwinner in addition to serving as Jeff’s caregiver. Jeff’s father and mother recently moved in with them; Jeff’s dad, 86, also has Alzheimer’s. Kim says she isn’t sure how she’d be handling things if she didn’t have her mother-in-law as a caregiving partner.
