[quote=Anonymous]Same OP. I think that cognitive disorders are too much for most people to deal with on a casual basis. Even if the person in question is asking questions nicely, they are just too confused. At some point it would be best if your dad was in memory care near you. You will have to decide if you want to do long distance care giving and place him near his house or short distance caregiving and place him near you. Would your relatives be different if all they had to do was go visit him? Unfortunately, my sibling depended on local relatives to visit our remaining parent and they just weren't up to it, even visiting once a month. Even in a facility. Once people develop significant problems and need part time or full time care, most relatives can't handle doing most of it. At least that was my experience. [/quote]
