My husband, 79 years old this month, is in a similar situation. He was diagnosed in January with severe Alzheimer’s and had been diagnosed earlier with NPH (normal pressure hydrocephalus). His father had Alzheimer’s so there was family history. He had also been falling frequently and began having seizures in January. There is no warning before the seizures.

He entered Memory Care in April of this year and has been complaining of boredom. He wants to go play golf, but his conditions with seizures, balance and falls won’t allow that. He wants to travel and go to faraway places but I am not willing to take the chance of his having a seizure while I’m driving or we’re on a train. I know he’s disappointed but like you, I feel he’s where he needs to be. He doesn’t engage in activities there, saying they are boring. We are meeting with his care team next week to explore a life enrichment program which sounds promising. I bring him books I think he’ll enjoy and he has a tablet computer he can watch programs on and access email and the internet. He can hold a conversation to some extent but has lost some abilities related to complex thinking skills.
I wish there was more I could do for him but the reality is I can’t.
