My mother had some dementia her last two or three years and my sister, who lived near her in Phoenix, had to do all the heavy lifting. Fortunately, my mother had wonderful nursing care, but my sister still wore herself out worrying and going back and forth to the assisted-living place and during the last months to the nursing home. I wouldn’t presume to give any advice to someone caring for an Alzheimer’s patient. I can only imagine how difficult and trying and tragic it is.
