CAREGIVER NOTE:

We had the “talk” last evening. He initiated it and was wondering if we had intentions of putting him into a nursing home if his memory issues got worse. We told him we were in for the long haul and he was here with us for the rest of his life. We talked about the living arrangements — his bedroom, the bathroom and time with family. He seemed very happy and relieved about that as he understood (for a little while, at least) that his former home has been sold and no longer belongs to him and he can’t go back there to live. We’ll see how today rolls out…. as it’s unlikely he will remember our visit last evening.
