My father has it and I moved him and my mother 5 minutes from me in a Senior apartment and I take care of them. They are 87 years old and I am happy I can help them but it is depressing. We found a geriatric psychiatrist who put my dad on 2 meds that have really made a difference. He was having horrible hallucinations and anger at us and that has almost completely resolved for over a year now. I live in Illinois as well. It must be so difficult to be so far away. 2 1/2 years ago we had to move my FIL from Florida up to the same Senior Apartment by us and my husband and I took care of him until he passed away Novemebr '05. |
