When my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Brain C-13 Review disease, my mother seemed to conveniently choose not to deal with it. Don't get me wrong, she and my father lived in their own home when he was diagnosed. She decided that she did not and would not place him in a nursing facility. But she also refuse to accept the fact that he had a disease. She was in denial. So dealing with her issues was much harder than dealing with my fathers illness. Not only did her being in denial add more stress to the whole situation, she felt that she should handle the whole thing on her own without outside help, placing a lot of the burden on us. She did not want strangers coming into her home to help her with the care of her husband.
Since they were my parents, and raised and took great care of me, I knew that I had to help her and my father. So, your own life, and needs go on hold. Just trying to figure out what to do and how to do it as far as care was concerned was overwhelming. Also making sure that they were both safe was a major concern. My father was quickly losing mobility. My mother could not lift him or move him. So it was up to us. Knowing that the state of his health was important, and soon it would be hard to get him to go to the doctor, I knew that I needed to find a physician that made house calls.
That was the best decision I ever made. First, now there was a person available to us for any medical needs or in case of emergency. Secondly, it made my mother slowly realize and understand Alzheimer's Disease and its progression. It allowed her to let people in her home. The doctor ordered a hospital bed for my father, which made things so much easier. He also ordered a nurse to come in to ensure he was doing okay. Any blood tests or ultra-sounds were done right in home. He was starting to receive better care than if my mother would have placed him in a nursing facility.
