[quote=Anonymous]My 80-some year old grandma is taking care of my Grandpa who also has Alzheimers and is incontinent. It's horrible. I don't know how my grandma takes care of him (she refuses to put him in a nursing home as well and won't let any nurses come to the house as she doesn't like strangers). She is very embarrassed about the smell in the house and no matter what we do, we can't get rid of the stinkiness. It doesn't help that my grandpa likes to take the diaper off. Can you and your family stay in a nearby hotel next time so that your mother doesn't have to clean the house for you? And perhaps go to a restaurant for meals (or maybe order take out and have everyone come to your hotel room)? She may be less stressed out with this plan and she may enjoy being away from your father for a few hours. Your father should be ok without a caregiver for a few hours. [/quote]
