Hi, My mother has Alzheimer's Disease. She is 82 and it has gotten very severe. She has been living with my brother and sister-in-law, who is a nurse by trade, but it's getting to be too much for her. I'm interested in hearing people's experiences regarding home care versus a nursing home. My sister-in-law and brother have a large home and money is not the problem - we could have someone be with her. However, I'm wondering if maybe a nursing home would be better, or more stressful for her? Any advice would be great. Thank you.
