HI Lawrence, I have to say you post the best information. My father had alzhiemers and it was a very difficult time for me. Fortunatley he did not live long with it as he died about 6 months after going into a nursing home. It was a real blessing.

Unfortunately my Nanny died from Alzheimer's Disease, in a nursing home, after several years. My Grandfather died of a broken heart 6 months after putting her in the nursing home. It was heart-wrenching. : (
