@celia16 thank you very much for your thoughts. I know that eventually I'm going to have to do something else because he's a bit taller than me. And by the experience I had with settling my sister down, their strength is stronger where I couldn't control her. Much less a man. I'm not a big person to be able to handle his strength at all. I'm going to get with Alzheimer's Association for guidance in the long term care as you stated. He's a veteran, I would think they have places as well. Thank you again for sharing this information with me.

@summer091111 , yes about Veterans. Every place I spoke with about care asked if my loved one was a veteran. It was my understanding that long term care was available at veterans’ facilities.

As you observe progression, I’d have help available you can reach quickly at all hours. I was surprised how quickly mobility declined. With a heavy person you can’t budge being bed bound…..it becomes imperative to get assistance at all hours.
