All Home Care Matters was honored to welcome Mary Ellen Spangler as a guest to the show to share her story.
Mary Ellen shares her story of finding out that her father who was successful was slowly dealing with health issues that the family was unaware of at the time and these issues would later lead to homelessness for her father.
This is Mary Ellen's story and what she went through trying to help her father with what was diagnosed as Alcohol-Induced Dementia.
Mary Ellen is 31-year-old copywriter from Rocklin, California. She was born and raised in Rockin, California and has no plans to leave the beautiful state any time soon. Writing is her greatest passion, but she is also an educator at heart and has her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology as well as a CA teaching credential.
In her free time, Mary Ellen is an avid reader, hiker, and loves to spend as much time with her family as possible.

This hit home. I have been advocating for my older brother, a veteran, for the last six years. What people don’t understand is that they no longer have capacity in executive function. They cannot be in the community without constant support. Because so little effort exists to differentiate between personality disorders coupled with AID--caring for them in the home is HARD! The caregiver is very neglected and invalidated. To add, non profits, especially the veterans groups use them as a money grab and case studies-where they learn nothing and financially abuse under the ruse of “helping with their independence”. The resources lack to support families and people with this issue. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is real. “There is no carbon copy of what we go through.” Thank you for your story!

Many alcoholics/ substance abusers have brain chemistry issues. They are ,in fact, self medicating. This wasn't well recognized some years back. This was a terrible tragedy which,today, we are just beginning to understand.

My second husband had this. He hid his alcohol abuse for years. He became paranoid and angry. It was awful.

My husband is alcoholic and is having memory problems. He eats maybe around 600 calories a day and that’s when he does eat. It’s hard to watch your loved ones slowly die. He will not go to a dr. I’ve tried everything to help him. Through counseling I’ve come ti terms with myself that he has problems that I can’t fix. It’s sad.

One of the reasons home care workers change a lot is because they get paid poorly, especially if the state is paying . It's just a revolving door.

There should be more focus on the major problem of alcohol-induced dementia.

@stephanie_smith 3 ай бұрын

Completely agree! I think we are going to see a rise in alcohol induced dementia. My sister, mom and I watched my dad deal with early onset dementia (not from alcohol) and it was really heartbreaking to witness and see him deteriorate and pass. His last days are etched in my brain, but I try to think on the better days I experienced with him as a child.
