[quote=Anonymous]This is a very common challenge for adult children. It is rather amazing that you are just facing it now. Still, of course, very difficult though. I would suggest you not try to handle it on your own. There are professionals (like social workers) who have expertise that would help you. If you identify a quality placement for him, they may be able to give advice on handling the transition. Otherwise, I would suggest a gerontologist or someone who specializes in working with this population. (The Alzheimer's Foundation has a toll free national helpline. When I called it was staffed by social workers who were knowledgeable and supportive. This was despite the fact that my mom did not have an official diagnosis of Alzheimer's). Good luck![/quote]
