Better Care

I have known a few people who have suffered from dimensia, my own gradmother included. Placing a loved one innursing homescan be the hardest decision a child can ever make in regards to their parents or husbands and wifes can make in regards to their spouse. Dealing with dimentia can be hard on both the patient and their relatives. I remember how hard it was for my father to deal with my grandmother thinking that he was his older brother, and her always asking where her mother was, or her husband. It was a very difficult time. If your in the UK area, there is a great website called bettercaring.com. They have great articles and message boards that deal with how to cope with a loved ones illness, what treatments are best for what, the cost of living, etc. You can also do a search on their search engine for the best rated nursing homes in your area. They also have information on in home care nurses as well. It's a great resource for those having to deal with this type of situation.
