I find that when I am a caregiver, home all day, busy with meeting needs that can't be scheduled, it is hard to keep house. For some reason, the more I am home, the more mess I make! I guess that is because I am home, using the house. It was that way with homeschooling too. When other people were at work and school all day, we were home all day, using the house and making messes every time we turned around.
So, what can we do? The best, most realistic help I have found is the Fly Lady. She calls herself that, because she teaches fly fishing, but that isn't what her web site is about. It is all about keeping up with the house in a realistic, easy, non-stressful way. You can access her site at: www.flylady.com
At the Fly Lady site, there is lots of information, but she breaks things down into simple terms and simple activities. To me, she has been a great blessing. I hope she is the same for you.
I am here.

Hi Sue Ellen!
I found your blog through the comment you left on Jeff Walker's PLF blog.
I was curious about why some of the commenter's names were links and clicked on your name to find out.
I was pleased to find that it led me to your wonderful blog!
I have a couple of similar projects I am working on. You can check out my blog at http://dementia--ontheoutsidelookingin.blogspot.com/
I look forward to reading more of you Caregiver advice.

Hi Paula, I just got home from being at a place with no internet connection (yikes!). Thanks for visiting. I really like the name of your blog. It is so true. All we can really do is make conclusions about dementia based on what we see from the outside.
