Dementia/Alzheimers is not 9-5 however agencies that are out there to help you for a fee or even those that offer volunteer services do work only 9-5 for the most part. Psw's work later but there is no such thing as caregiver relief after 5 or on weekends and most services stop at 5 pm.
When considering bringing someone into your home to take care of, do your homework first! Line up friends and family that can help you during the hours after 5 pm. You are going to need it. Don't ignore it or think it will all fall into place down the line because it doesn't.
