I should share--my husband has trouble with remote and even can only sign a check. I have learned to sometimes deter him to different conversation but when he can remember most everyone but me and I do everything for him
including manicure and pedicure and he is incontinent as well so I have to help as he puts his pull ups on backward even though I mark them. I keep my sense of humor. I purchased a transport wheelchair and things to assist at home. Even though I am turning 80 and am 125lbs I can do most things because I have trained with a trainer since I was 40. It has been the best investment in my own health. I want to stay in our home which is large but We love it.

Hi, you wrote that he signs checks, and that made me wonder if he should be signing checks.
I checked with my lawyer; since I am my husband's Power of Attorney it is ethically and legally incorrect to have someone with mental incapacity sign anything they do not understand.
My husband didn't even sign our tax forms this year.
All the best to you. 🌻
