CHOSEN FAMILY: Ricardo and his wife, Nelly and Raul (from “Caring for Your Parents” (WBGH – PBS) Ricardo cares for his elderly parents, who both have their own health issues, and he is doing so on his own. There is contention between Ricardo and his sister, because she argues that she is unable to help more because of her own personal life and distance, while Ricardo feels abandoned and that the burden of care is placed solely on him. Both of Ricardo’s parents have lived with him at one point in time, and when their care became too difficult to manage at home, Ricardo had to find a nursing facility for them to receive around the clock care. After work each day, Ricardo splits his time driving to the nursing homes to visit his parents, and since they are divorced, they live in separate facilities. While Ricardo’s mother was living at home, she began wandering, and it created a major source of stress because Ricardo and Diosa were constantly worried about Nellie leaving. After one incident which involved police and helicopter surveillance only to find Nellie standing alone in a lake after wandering out of the house that night, Ricardo and Diosa struggled but ultimately decided to place Nellie in a facility. Ricardo’s mother suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and his father suffers from prostate cancer. Their health statuses are a source of stress, and require Ricardo to remain vigilant in their care by attending appointments and having to make difficult decisions regarding their care. Ricardo’s mother’s cognitive function has declined to the point where she now identifies him as her brother, and while Ricardo states that he is “used to this”” by now
