God Bless you! My dad died last year with Alzheimers.
God bless you too. It's such a tough disease to watch. Your father is free now.

Sorry for that rough road you have had.
It was quite the journey (and still is) as I'm sure it was for you with your mother's illness. I feel blessed we were able to keep dad as long as we did. We have been married 32 years, never had children and we joke that this was "the child we never had". (we've learned that you have to find humor when dealing with this disease) Anyway, I've learned that it's easy to cast stones when one never has had personal experience with such things and that's okay. Anyway, thanks for your kind words. God bless.

“I wouldnt be surprised if the womans family had her removed or if the hospital suggested one of them transfer.”
Most likely they’re both in the Alzheimer’s ward.

Sorry, but I ain’t buying anything in this article except “man forced into home, finds girlfriend”. The rest is BS.
14 years as a 24/7, single retired disabled caregiver helped me form that wonderful opinion. :-)
To: JoeSixPack1
Sorry. My dad who we cared for 3 years at our home has "developed a friend". ALL they do is occasionaly touch hands...look at each other. There is a "bond" but nothing sexual. He'2 85 and lost the love of his life. He Still morns her (as do I... my mother who died at age 79 with dad crying by my side). If someone can make him happy, I'll take it. Isn't that what you would want??????
I'm struggling with dad now..but...in the Alzheimers unit....he's Thriving...as opposed to living with us for the past 3 years,
okay...I'm senstive to this. I'm a lurker but always respected you. Hope you don't see this as a battle...just a perspective. Dutchess

No problem. Like said, I was the sole care giver to an alheimers patient for 14 years.
She had stage 3 Alzheimers, heavy dimentia, crippling arthritis, 2 stomas and a score of other stuff, but no family other than me.
What I see in this story is a family that “stored” their problem and is getting kudos because of the patients instinct to befriend.
All it takes to “store” someone at a home is a check.
To: JoeSixPack1
Instead of saying every situation is different you felt compelled to tell her in a round about way she was also 'storing'.
Kudos to you for what you did but get off your high horse.

Thank you and I applaud for being such a wonderful caregiver. I don't know what I would have done without ours for the past 3 years. I bless OUR caregivers every day....I have no idea how we could have lived without them.
God bless you all for taking care of our "fathers"....

i know, I know, I should have used more finesse or a bigger vocabulary.
To: COUNTrecount
This is just a stupid article. Private and has nothing to do with anything. It's just embarrassing that the "news" includes the eccentric behavior of a man whose suffering from a debilitating disease.
I feel sorry for the Justice.
