Many men find themselves being the main carer for a person with dementia.
Most of these men are husbands, caring for their wives, although male carers can also include sons, brothers and friends. Caring for someone with dementia can be very demanding. For many men it can present extra challenges. In many homes, it is the woman who takes the main responsibility for meal planning, cooking, cleaning and laundry and many of the other jobs that keep a household running. If the woman has dementia, she will gradually be unable to continue doing these.
