Like Darlene and Desmond. Desmond is the caregiver for Darlene, his wife of 33 years. Darlene has MS and her memory is failing. When she became more confused and began to ask the same questions again and again, caring for her at home, every hour of every day, was isolating and exhausting. Desmond was getting overwhelmed so he reached out to WoodGreen.
