Anybody Have Problems With Their Loved Ones Wearing Their Clothes From The Day Before Including His Shoes At Bedtime?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Anybody have problems with their loved ones wearing their clothes from the day before including his shoes at bedtime? I figured out what he could wear to bed. My dad continues to wear his clothes from the previous day to go to bed and then wants to wear them the next day. Anyone have any ideas how to curb this?

Thank you!

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband goes to the bathroom in his clothes (feces or pee). He doesn't want to take a shower or changes for days. When I try to help him he gets very angry. Doesn't matter how I address him.

What Can You Do When Your Loved One Keeps Turning The Lights On?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Last night, when we were sleeping my dad got up and turned all the lights on even in rooms no body was in and then went back to his room. After that, my husband turned all the lights back off. Then my dad turned the back on. Has anyone had this issue before and what did you do to solve it? Our electric bill is the highest ever since my dad moved in.
We all got COVID. My husband is due to go back to work tomorrow. So he needs his sleep badly.

Any suggestions, please let me know.
