[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 317348, member: 1963"] Abbey, this isn't something you are doing TO him; it is something you are doing FOR him. Alzheimer's doesn't get better and everyone with it, unless something else gets them first, will die of it. Doesn't it make more sense for him to have an environment where he can get 24/7 care? I don't think it would affect his standing in the community. Alzheimer's knows no rank or civil standing. All sorts of people get it. The only thing they know about it is that it can run in families. If you are still in WI, the Green Bay area/Oshkosh, does have resources available. Call social services and ask about them. Assisted living is not like being in a "home". In fact, my mother, who is in her seventies and sharp as a tack is thinking of going into assisted living as her arthritis makes it hard to climb stairs to her apt, and do her laundry and the like.
