Note: My dad has alzheimer's His wife is taking care of him at the moment but we, my brother and I, can see he's mostly done and she's having a hard time. By "mostly done" I mean while he still seems like our Dad it feels more like he was replaced by a robot. He recognizes us and has lots of memories and can still have a conversation but he's got no "spirit", motivation, will. He does nothing. Apparently he'd have stayed in bed 24/7 if she hadn't moved the TV to the living room.
We don't really know what to do or how to help. I suspect if she left we'd put him in a home. Neither of us have the time or inclination to be there for him. It doesn't help that he moved 2000 miles away for ~30yrs so as much as we love him he hasn't been a part of our lives. He's now ~100 miles away but even if he was 1 mile away I'm not sure what more we'd be willing to do.
