Hi Nurse,
When was the last time you took your wife on holiday? Where did you go? How was she then?

If you want an assisted holiday, I can recommend www.revitalise.org.uk (the next Alzheimer's week is in September) and www.dementiaadventure.co.uk that do trips throughout the year in the UK and can also organise bespoke trips.
Hi,
My Wife has mid/late Alzheimer's.
Over the years I have never managed to get my wife to go abroad for a holiday.
last year I managed to get my Wife to Majorca on two separate occasions for two weeks each time all inclusive. She certainly seem to enjoy it.
It was very costly because I paid for a carer to come along with us, but well worth it.
Every time she sees an airplane in the sky, she points up to it as much as to say wee should be on that, but because of her deterioration I think this year would be a little too ambitious to consider going abroad, at least I managed it twice.
I would recommend to anyone, if the opportunity is there take it, at least you will have some fond memories in amongst all that anger and grief, and besides you as a carer need a break too.
Remember you can't turn the clock back, and they don't make shrouds with pockets.
If your loved one ever has to go into a care home they will certainly relive them of any capital.
Hope you make the right decision.
Kind Regards
Pete.
