I agree with Kristin that Janet and her family should look into counseling and support groups. But I am not sure about looking into retirement homes for when Janet is older. My Pop had Alzheimer's disease, it was hard to see him and know that he couldn't remember your name. I know it was also hard for my Nana and Aunt to take care or him because of his disease. But, I also know that I could not imagine having my Pop living in a place surrounded by strangers who did not know who he was, what his life was like, or how he behaved. Yes, it was hard for my Nana to take care of Pop, but she provided the love and understanding he needed. I think Janet should look into live-in nurses or nurses that visit because they provide good care, but the patient does not have to move into a strange and unfamiliar place.
