Bummer. My FIL had Alzheimer’s and was bedridden for a decade. Not pleasant. My MIL refused to put him in a home and waited on him hand and foot till he passed. Very hard for her and the whole family.

My aunt had ALZ and died only a few months ago. She was not bedridden though but any person like me who took turns taking care of her in our family know that it’s an emotional hell. We considered a professional home for her but rather pay for additional caregivers during evenings.
