My mother-in-law Betty, age 91, suffered from stage six Alzheimer's disease. My father, age 92, knew in his heart of hearts the best place for them both to live be in the house in which they grew old together. My siblings wondered if an assisted living home might be better for both Dad and Betty. I decided it best for me to drive to Texas from my home in South Carolina to decide for myself which lifestyle I thought would be best for my parent. I was told my parents had three caregivers. During the week a care giver arrived at their home at 9:00 a.m. and stayed through 6:00 p.m. fixing lunch and dinner and attending to their needs. On week nights another care giver arrived at 9:00 p.m. and left at 7:30 a.m. after making breakfast. Weekends I heard were iffy. Most weekends a caregiver would arrive and spend Saturday and Sunday nights, sometimes no one would show up at all. My parents were alone in their home for many hours each week. I decided to stay in Texas at least a month, maybe two. I wanted to spend time with my parents and make an aware decision as to where I thought they should live. A freak happenstance, a mistake, threw me into a memory-impaired unit for a month. God placed me right where I needed to be and I want to share what I learned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kay Wright Nelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517514118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517514112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.06d","brand":"Kay Wright Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410721337599,"sku":"9781517514112","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06f320bb-eecb-43d3-91e2-59517d7b80f5.jpg?v=1697537460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alzheimer-patient-like-me-kay-wright-nelson-9781517514112","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
