My dad had Alzheimer’s, he wouldn’t use a walking frame he preferred to shuffle around, Elaine looked after him for as long as she could but when she couldn’t cope anymore he went into a nursing home, he only lived a few months loner then he died, I was happy that he didn’t have to live to long in care and that he died when he did as he wasn’t the cantankerous old git that he was, we just had a Civil Celebrant do the service in the chapel at the crematorium.
Two of dad’s 3 sisters have Alzheimer’s his youngest sister has been in a nursing home for about 2 years now and she has good days and bad days which is all part of the disease, my uncle has just had to put his wife in a nursing home as it got to much for him to handle with her at home, they are both 86 years old, Les is wracked with guilt about having to put Audrey into a home because he feels that he should be looking after her until either one of them died first, hopefully soon he can move into the home and be with her all day, he has done the best that he could despite his age and his own health issues being against him.
