Hi - after quite a few weeks of hardly eating, Dad is doing reasonably well in that department, but his Alzheimers seems to have progressed quite rapidly. He is 96, nearly blind, cannot support his own weight for more than a minute or so with a frame, incontinent and cannot concentrate. He is constantly saying 'what do I do now' and would like us to take him out, but we cannot now get him down the 3 front door steps. Even when we could get him out he fell asleep.
Can anyone suggest any activities we can do with him? We are at a loss. He can't see photos, dislikes the radio, turns away from the tv, and falls asleep when you are talking to him. It's awful seeing him so confused and distressed. We kneel in front of him, face to face hold his hand, and talk to him as much as we can, but trying to keep that up day after day for hours is impossible.
