Caring for someone with memory loss?
And unsure what to do first? Glya is designed for you.
Cognitive decline (memory loss) is not a sprint. It’s a long, winding road that will ask everything of you.
It is so hard to find information you can trust - to know what to expect and when.
And while you’re doing everything for someone else, you still have to care for yourself.
We learned that the hard way.
At Glya, our mission is to make your journey easier for you. You’re not alone.
We are dementia caregivers and are here to help. Read our story. Explore our resources.
And when you’re ready, access our guide designed to make it easier to know where you are and what’s next…
Feeling Lost and Alone in Your Journey?
“Thank you for this space … just talking about it is therapeutic. I’ve felt so HELPLESS! My Dad doesn’t believe that she needs care…and she doesn’t feel comfortable with him. I live across the state and one day had to call the Department of Aging to intervene! Finally I had to “kidnap” my own Mom. Now she is safe and I’m able to care for her properly. But I also feel like I missed the opportunity to intervene earlier and have a real impact; there is guilt in that.”

“Seven years ago, my Dad was diagnosed with dementia. The smartest man I knew … and it’s all gone. Now Mom has catapulted him…can’t walk, can’t speak. I wish I never knew anything about Dementia - but here I am. It is so EXHAUSTING. I find myself not wanting to visit [and] my siblings all turn to me. I’ve asked the doctor what is next but I’m unsure of what tomorrow will bring. I want to be proactive - planful - that gives me a much better shot at success. It’s a lot.”

“About 5 years ago I noticed that mom was forgetful but just assumed it was natural aging. Then she started getting nasty and was resistant to leaving the house. Neither parent would consider a care facility … until the night they both fell and landed in the hospital. All my parents had was a simple will, no POA or HCP. My parents should have done all of this!! Why leave it to your children to figure out?? I’m so ANGRY and LOST. Worrying about myself comes last.” It’s HARD.
