We are taking steps to put my Dad in an alzheimer's facility. it is not something we do lightly - but he is increasingly incontinent and his memory and cognition are failing rapidly.

Mother is 81 and two days ago when she said she wished she would die to get away from the burden of caring for him, I knew it was past time to take this step.

He's covered by medicaid - we did that paperwork and all of the government requirement steps all last year to get that set up - thank goodness. So they will take his social security to pay for the care and the rest is left for Mother. Dad's gov't case manager agrees with this step and is helping a lot.

There are 2 alzheimer's facilities in our area and i'll visit them both next week.
