Grandfather has it. Its the saddest thing I have ever witnessed. My grandmother is his caretaker, she is 81, he is 86. She is in pretty good health however a dementia patient is alot to deal with.

Right now helping out is me, my sister, and my older cousin and my dad. My uncle stops by and cuts the grass every two weeks and stays an hour and leaves the other kids and grand kids barely even call but they know hes sick. I stayed with my grandmother last night and stayed up with him. He went to bed at 11pm woke up at 1251am... stayed up until about 4:15am. He sits on the edge of the bed, talking nonsense and just moving his hands. Sometimes yelling, laughing etc. Talking to his mom, dad, brother(s) sister, (all are passed BTW) I left at 7am because I had to go to work. Man this is the hardest thing I have ever done. Watching the strongest person you know you lose their mind so quickly. He sleeps during the day and stays up all night. Several times he would not take his meds. My grandmother is doing the best she can do at 81 but I know this is hard on her as well.

Have any of you ever had to deal with it?
