Personally I don’t think anybody should be expected to sacrifice his/her own health by being the sole 24/7 caregiver of a person who most of the time is not even aware of where he/she is or doesn’t even recognize the caregiver. I know that if my husband lives long enough to get to that stage of the disease I will do my best to find a way to put him in an institution. Just think, who will take care of YOU when he finally dies and you are left in worse health because of all the years of continued physical and emotional stress?

I have also thought what if we have to sell the house to pay for this, but I am not putting him if it came to it which I hope it doesn’t in a county facility. Like you there is only me.
I’m being very selfish because if we sold the house that could affect my style of living as my retirement would possibly have to now pay for an apartment and we live in a very expensive area. Well! Let’s not what if? I just think about this one has to be prepared Incase. Take care and breathe occasionally. I really feel for you.
