Hi @A myALZteam Member! My husband attends three different day programs and for a long time only liked one of them. I made all kinds of short term requests like 1) it is for me that he needs to attend, 2) that it is too late today to cancel, 3) that I need him to just try it a couple more weeks, etc. This week after months of regular attendance there seemed to be a break-through. He went to all three willingly and with a pleasant expression rather than a scowl. If he participates and you are told he does well and you've observed that he is at a similar stage to at least one other person, my prospective is to perceiver. Most likely, even though he complains, you are both benefitting.

My husband denied having Alzheimer’s so I never mentioned it again. There really was no need to. I even told his Dr that we don’t say the A word and he was careful to not push it

What is a day program???? Where & how do I find one for my mom????

I need the answer to this as well. My husband has no STM either and keeps saying he is stupid or an idiot.
I also have a second question. My husband has started with the day program which he absolutely hates. Is it possible he is not at the right stade for it yet.For my own sake I would take him out of the program because he complains and asks questions over and over again that morning and when he comes home is is very confused and agitated and I have no peace all evening as he never stops. The people at the program say he seems fine and enters discussions. When he is at home he does nothing but sleep
