Alzheimers is hard, I've never totally had to deal with it family wise but I do deal with it with a customer at my work.

I work at a restaurant and he usually comes in everyday during the day. Some days he doesn't remember us, others he does. He still thinks it's like 1970 and goes on about his wife (who has long passed). He's one of my favorite people ever because he is so sweet and innocent and its so sad when he comes in for the 2nd time of the day and doesn't remember that he had been there earlier. He remembers me more now cause he knows that we share a birthday, so when he sees me he reminds me that our birthdays are coming up. His thing is when he comes in and we say "Hey Normy, how ya doing" he responds with "better now!" so the day he stops doing that is the day we know we need to be more worried about him. He never fails us with his better now! lol

Again, never had to deal with it family wise so I hope you can just get in your time and i know that this is a really tough disease to deal with so my heart goes out to you.
Just know you are a good person for dealing with it - along with your company. There are a lot of people out there that don't understand the disease. We're striving for a day where people can understand it...you're there, so I really just want to say thank you.
