This week my dad seems to be doing pretty good. Better than expected actually. Though, the Dr. did say he will have is ups and downs and that is typical with Alzheimer's at this stage.
We really thought, when we first put him in the group home, he was not doing well with his health and thought he'd go down hill from there. Quite the contrary, in fact. He is getting better. I ask him often if he is doing well and if he likes it there and from his expressions and body language, along with him saying "oh, yes" every time, I know that he is really happy and the staff are really taking good care of him. He is the only one who has Alzheimer's out of the 9 people living there. The other people there say my dad is a very sweet man. In deed, he is.
My mom is really happy that my dad is getting good care. Now, we need to work on her. She is trying to see if someone can come in her home, help her with some physical therapy, light house keeping and cooking. I suggested a company called ComForcare but we will see what she decides.
