My wife is in late stage Dementia—diagnosed as Vascular Dementia 10 years ago. She’s in a Memory Home in Winter Springs Florida. Recently she’s lost much of her memory & is no longer eating. After being on a plateau of relative health, I’m afraid she’s now rapidly declining. I came upon tour site quite by accident & find it exactly pertinent to my role as Caregiver & husband.
My spouse is in late stage Alzheimer’s. We have had the support of hospice for the last two years. He’s been in Memory Care the last 7 months. He still eats well, but has not walked for 2 years, has lost much weight, no longer makes eye contact…. This state of limbo is excrutiating….
