He is still angry about not driving or riding his dirt bike. Last year he had a horrible accident in the woods, and he still believes he can do everything he used to do. He comes to work with me as the family business was his before I bought out his partner and sold the shares to our Son, which has been at business 15 years anyway. There are so many pieces here and the bottom line is I am going out of town and he cannot be alone.... Any ideas?
You're so right Steve. Unless you have a trusted person to stay with your loved one it's stressful either way.
My dad never liked games. He loves music and we have a classical music radio station playing in his apartment 24/7. A few years back, audiobooks were a HUGE blessing to us. We'd load history books on… read more
My mom has fallen two times (hemotoma and bruising first fall and fractured spine and sacrum in second fall). Wondering if memory care must report this even though they didn't report her injuries to me.

I have a question about an advanced directive and Alzheimer’s. I am guardian of my cousin, age 79, who never married and has no family except for me and a few cousins who are older than us! I am 76, and the baby of the family. Her advanced directive states that nothing should be done to extend her life and contains a DNR. In the document there is grey area about what should be done for her, especially regarding illnesses that an antibiotic or surgery might cure. I’d guess that she is in stage 6… read more

Sometimes "home means the house he grew up in which isn't there anymore & sometimes (when he doesn't know who I am) in means going to where I am. Any suggestions from any of you lovely people would be greatly appreciated. Best Wishes to each of you for a good day.
That worked for him sometimes, but lately he gets angry when we get home and will ask “Why did we come here?” Of course I tell him “This is home” , but he doesn’t believe it. Ugh!
Put first pair of depends on now I can't get him to take off the wet ones. HELP
