Pedro’s caregiving role for his wife is rooted in deep love and devotion. As Sandra’s Alzheimer’s disease
progressed, it became emotionally and physically overwhelming for Pedro. For a proud veteran used
to pushing through challenges, this was different. He worried about Sandra’s well-being, yet hesitated to seek help. “Could someone else care for her like I do?” That changed when Sandra’s doctor referred them to PVI’s Adult Day Services at Rosener House. “The staff truly care, and Sandra is safe, engaged, and comfortable,” Pedro says. Still, the demands of caregiving and household tasks, along with his own aging, left him drained and exhausted. That’s when he turned to Quiescence, PVI’s newest program tailored to support family caregivers. “It is my lifeline,” he shares. With the combined support of PVI’s customized resources, both he and Sandra are cared for, and Pedro finds space to breathe and the strength to carry on. “PVI gives me the confidence to keep going,” he says.
