How do you know when it's time for your spouse who has dementia, to be [View all]

placed in a nursing home for people with dementia?? My husband is in a memory care facility for 20 days at which time it’ll be decided if he should stay or come home. I just don’t know how to feel……..he doesn’t know his phone number, who’s president, or what day it is. He’s got trouble with his bowel, he’s incontinent and he uses a walker. He’s been home all this time, and I guess I didn’t realize how hard I worked to have him at home. I just don’t know if he should come back home………I am leaning toward full time placement at a nursing home for him. Hope we make it financially……lotsa barriers if we make to much money……I just don’t know what to do. I miss him so much at home, but I really don’t know if I can handle all the work keeping him here again.
