[quote=Anonymous]My father has dementia and has progressed to the stage where he wanders and gets lost at night. He also constantly wakes my mother at night. She's exhausted. We're considering out options, but we don't know whether to let him age in place or put him in memory care. Lots of people warn against aging in place, and I want to be proactive. But memory care doesn't seem like a great option? My father doesn't speak English or Spanish, so I'm not sure how the staff can help him in a facility. I imagine being surrounded by strangers and being unable to communicate is scary and stressful. I also feel it'd be frustrating to the staff, and I worry he could get neglected. My mother can at least talk to him while he's home and cook some familiar foods, but I don't know what we'll do when the disease gets worse, even with help. Should we put him in memory care or hire some help and ride it out as long as we can?[/quote]
