As Laura says, you "get it." I, too, cared for my mom with Alzheimer's...in her home, in my home, and finally in a nursing home. Although she's been gone for several years, I still write and speak about Alzheimer's to encourage others. Although I generally didn't have "hands on" care of my aunt (Mother's sister), I became responsible for caregiving decisions when she lived with Mother and was in a nursing home. I was glad my work enabled me to have a flexible schedule that allowed me to be with them much of the time. This is a very informative post.

Yes, this is so true. I lived through every example you gave. Even though my Dad passed on in January, I still love to this site because you "get it." I really think that it sometimes takes someone who has gone through it to really understand. I am passing your link on to the Family Council at the Nursing facility where my Dad ended up. Thanks for the mention.
