I recently had a cousin who was taking care of my uncle who had dementia. It started off easy enough. He would forget things. But man it went really bad really fast. Her brother had to move in to help her with him. One of them had to be up at 430 am to get ready for the day. He was up at 5am and they had to have eyes on him all the time. He would wander around the neighborhood if you left him alone for a few minutes. It happened several times when they left him alone for a few minutes. Then when he forgot how to eat or clean himself or use the restroom. It was like taking care of an infant. We all said just put him in a home. This is too much for you guys. But they thought they could give him better care than a home could. They were wrong but to this day they believe they did the right thing. Dementia is ugly.
