| Since 4 years my mom is living in a nursing home..
She could'nt stay at home anymore since my dad passed away.
My mom has alzheimer.
The alzheimer is taking more and more and we really see things are not going better.
Things she knew for a year ago she has forgotten and the world around her is getting smaller and smaller.
The nurses of the house where she lives told to my sister mom needs more help with the daily things.
In the nursing home she lives now they can't give her the extra help she needs.
That means we need to sign up mom nursing house for people with alzheimer.
There they can give her the extra help she needs with the daily things.
Well .................... |

| Very sorry to hear this. I remember when you and your sister had to move her out of your childhood home (and it was not easy for you).
It will be better for you to get your mother to a nursing home where they can help her will all of her needs.
Praying you will find the right place.

| I know that this is going to be a tough time for you. I know it's hard when your mom forgets important things. But, she still loves you and appreciates you helping her. Because of the disease, she just isn't able to remember to tell you this.

| I too am really sorry to hear the news, and even though it's a step you probably didn't want to have to take, it will help your mother so much - a small silver lining for your family to see
I'll be keeping you in my prayers
