I’m fighting fear. I’m anticipating having to move into an assisted living facility in the near future.
I look around my home at all the beauty I have created and cry. I will have to get rid of everything…How can I give away things that mean so very much.

I know I must. Eventually this disease, Alzheimer’s will rob me of my memory so I guess it doesn’t matter.

Now, I need to find a place where the patients are well cared for. That is, based upon reviews, a hard thing to find. Prices are incredibly high!
$10,000 per month is not unusual for Memory Care.

One day at a time…

how about trying the drug that slows down progression of almzheimers? And going to mind therapy? How are you so certain that you have it? Why can’t you get a home health care assistant and stay i your home? Best wishes

SusanEllen-
You've mentioned that your neurologist is not nearby, and is not very proactive.
Do you have any professional help nearby?
This might make a big difference if you can arrange it.

@SusanEllen66 scary thought indeed! How can anyone afford the $10,000 a month!? 😱 I know I couldn’t! Don’t even know if there is such a facility in Ontario where I live, never mind the cost … who has this kind of money, especially a pensioner …!? 😯
