Dementia is another situation that combined with Alzheimer's is down right ugly. We have a BIL in the early stages of this combination. And his is a Widower with only one remaining Family member left to deal with his Mental issues.

Sad part is,there are not enough in Home Health Care Persons in his Rural Area to help his Daughter with his care. And Confined Care(nursing home)withing a hundred miles is booked solid with waiting lists. BTW,6k per month is the new rates versus 4500 two years ago.
