Indeed - I think you will find several of us here who have been involved in caring for someone with Alzheimers. In the "Welcome" section I just mentioned that my Mom passed a few years ago from Alzheimers and my brother, sister and I tried to care for her outside of the nursing home atmosphere as long as we possibly could. She did wind up there eventually due to the level of care she required but it certainly is a terribly sad and rocky road. I know she's at peace now - unfettered by the limitations that dementia put on her charming and loving "pre-disease" spirit. That gives ME a tremendous sense of peace.
