I am sorry that your girlfriend may have memory issues. I have a friend that I have to help organize things because they are not able to. The good thing is they do good with routines and those help them remember to do things.

How are you holding up with all these changes. Caregiving can be very stressful. Self care is so important for a caregiver to maintain to keep themselves on stable ground.
