It's a rough path no matter which path you're on. There's no winner's and we're all losing more and more each day unfortunately. All we can do is cherish all the good and try to forget the bad. We know that the people we love are still here and also lost inside themselves somewhere. It's a horrible disease and it makes someone unrecognizable to us as well. God bless us all and may he give us all the strength and courage we need to accept, work through and get through this with grace and dignity. Amen 🙏

I'm proof that living with a form of dementia for 3 yrs now and still at home with my husband who has his own disability is again proof that you can manage with health services like in home healthcare and delivered meals can work for a good while 🙂

Depending on the care facility and the employees. Too many instances of neglect and abuse that gets covered up in facilities. Too numerous to cover.

Both of my parents had dementia at the same time. We tried to have them stay with us but after 2 months and several trips to the ER, we placed them in an excellent memory care. They both improved physically even though they continued to decline cognitively. This facility had many activities daily and my parents began to put on weight since the food was so good. Plus, my husband and I could just visit them and not worry so much about their daily care.

My sweet aunt who had Alzhiemers was confused about many things, but after she went into the memory care facility, she found friendship with another patient. They were devoted to each other and spent time holding hands and taking walks down the halls. It was comforting to know she was not lonely there.

Great caregiving comes in many forms. Whether your loved one is living at home or in a care facility, you are still an amazing caregiver. Every situation, person, and journey is different. it doesn't mean one is better than the other.
