Alzheimer's Husband Dilemma

Gave a seminar today and a lady had to bring her husband who has Alzheimer's with her as the granddaughter who was supposed to look after him didn't show up.  We got talking - she has only just started getting 1 hour a day respite care, and she can't afford to pay any more.  She can't put him in a home, because that would take all of his pension, and she wouldn't be able to live on just her pension alone. So sad.
He seemed quite happy, though - he was singing or whistling the entire time he was there.
