What do you suggest if my grandma's alzheimer's is getting to her and we don't know what to do, help!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This can be very: difficult as there is only so much medications can do at times. See if there are any home nursing programs that can assist. Depending on her behaviors, do not be closed on assisted care facilities, not all are as bad as the movie Happy Gilmore makes them appear. Some are actually very nice. Ask around if you consider this.
