She doesn't have to be "on her own" with managing Papa -
the Alzheimer's Association >> http://www.alz.org/ <<
is a huge, Nationwide, assistance organization that has chapters in every state
and most every city ... Here's YOUR Local Chapter >>>
http://www.alz-tbc.org/ (Florida Gulf Coast Chapter )

Give 'em a call - toll free = 800-772-8672

One thing a lot of the Chapters do is organize Day Care Centers -
where patients can meet and enjoy group activities - and allow their
regular Care Givers some "time off" without having to worry about the patient.

Most Alzheimer's programs are either FREE or super low-cost to the patient -
everyone can afford to be helped.
