Welcome to my website. First, let me answer your nursing home question as best as I can. Go to the top of the page and click "search". Type in "nursing home"; click the "topic" circle, and hit search again. Many nursing home topics will come up, but here is the direct link to the one I think will answer a lot of your questions - http://thealzheimerspouse.com/vanillaforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2457&page=1#Item_0 It is titled "Need Nursing Home Advice".
Now, for my official welcome - You have come to a place of comfort for spouses who are trying to cope with the Alzheimer's/dementia of their husband/wife. The issues we face in dealing with a spouse with this disease are so different from the issues faced by children and grandchildren caregivers. We discuss all of those issues here - loss of intimacy; social contact; conversation; anger; resentment; stress; and pain of living with the stranger that Alzheimer's Disease has put in place of our beloved spouse.

Currently, the message boards can be used for free, but due to the high cost of maintaining the website, anyone who is able to make a payment in any amount to help defray the costs may do so by clicking on the "sticky topic" - Payments to this website.
