I feel so bad for your family, it is so hard to watch this decline. My Dad has Alzeimers and is 88 years old. My Mom and I took care of him and she passed a year ago. My Dad is paranoid and says people arr coming into the apartment and stealing his food and candy, watching him in the bathroom, following him when we go out. Very irrational things but to him they are real. We do have him under the care of a geriatric psychiatrist who has helped lessen the severity and frequency of the paranoia. We know the day is coming where we will no longer be able to maintain him in the apartment but it is so hard to make the decision to put him in a nursing home. I know how stressful it is dealing with a parent like this. I hope you can get some help. |
