[quote=Anonymous]So sister has a lot on her plate. Not to defend her but being married to an alcoholic is its own kind of hell. I'd try to get a neighbor to drop in. I'd also start touring memory facilities around Dad's house. Knowledge is power and you can see what is out there and what it costs for future reference. You may as well tour places around your house too. Understand spouses are under a lot of stress when their wife has dementia. Sometimes the spouse with dementia outlives the spouse that is working. The support spouse has a lot of stress which is not good for health. Two years is a long time in dementia world. These piece meal check ins may work for 2 years or they may not. Dad is primary decision maker. If he does not want her in a dementia/memory unit then he may have to retire early. Also, does sister have a kid that could be hired to do the 4:00 pm check in? Pay the teen and keep the money in the family. [/quote]
