Husband doesn't recognize me: Struggling to keep him safe

Hello:
I was under the impression the VA had facilities where he could stay at no charge, if he's a Veteran?
My mother-in-law placed her husband in a VA memory care facility when his Alzheimers became more than she could deal with over time. She did have to wait a few months for a bed to open up for him there.
Good luck to you.

@judimahoney Yes, the VA does help veterans with medical care and other services, but some services have eligibility ratings based on whether or not the veteran has a service connected disability and family income. Unfortunately, (fortunately?) my husband doesn't have a service connected disability and our household income is above their maximum limits.
