Hi everyone.
My husband is at a fairly advanced stage of Alzheimer's Disease. I was wondering what happens when lo's go into respite care for a short period of time. Are visits arranged first as I was thinking it must be so unsettling for them to suddenly go somewhere that is unfamiliar and be out of their normal routine and be with people they don't know. But then again, they will probably forget that they had been before so what has been your experience with respite care? When they return are they really unsettled?
If I thought it was going to be a really horrible, unsettling experience for my husband, I'd rather not take advantage of the respite care and just continue as we are.
Thank you in advance.
