Hi all
My husband has Alzheimer's and his behaviour mainly in public places is unacceptable. Its got to the stage that he won't stop doing something when I tell him its not acceptable. I feel now we should not go anywhere but I don't want to see him deteriorate at home by not having enough exercise or variation. We love walks but the behaviour when we meet people can be awful. We get a bit of family support but everyone is so busy.
If we go out there should be someone else with us but that idea isn't appealing to me. It also means that I won't be able to go out as much too as worrying to leave him at home alone and although he goes to groups it still is limiting for me to get outside chores done and feels awful to exclude him.
It would be very hard for us to pay for carers and I'm not sure if its the answer. I want to cope but the behaviour is so difficult.
