It really is a long goodbye. There are agencies that provide this help. They are a great resource for support and advice. I wondered if you could talk a little about getting the patient out of the house. With victims remaining in the early stages, longer, adult day care is a great option for the victim and the caregiver.
Planned programs are great for the individual in the early to middle stages of the illness.
They keep the victims focused and happy. However, as the disease progresses to the later stages. Such activity is nearly impossible. Some also love visits from young children. We don't want to see victims in residential or nursing home facilities doing nothing all day, everyday.
