Hi all
I really don't know what to do!
My husband has been attending some groups for something to do but he gets too hyper and his inappropriate joking can cause problems.
He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years ago, but is so good in many ways.
Do I just give up on him going to groups? He has enjoyed them but one of the problems is at one group there is not enough volunteers so my husband probably isn't sort of supervised enough.
The groups have helped me immensely as I can get my shopping etc done when I hope that he is having a nice time and being looked after. It is a huge worry for me to leave him at home alone and he is only in his 60's and still so interested in life. At home his behaviour is on the whole ok. He is never inappropriate at home and enjoys watching the news, documentaries, puzzles etc. Its only when he is with people that his jocular behaviour gets out of hand. The leader of the group who rang today even suggested residential care but I don't think he is at that stage yet. He still enjoys walks with me and family members, helps around the house. The leader is only going by the behaviour at the group.
I feel so worried about what's best to do. It would be a huge worry to leave him at home alone at all as he might knock on the neighbour's door or something.
