She will no longer be able to live alone. She will remember the past, but not the present. and sometimes say or do things that are upsetting to you, but dont be upset when she is accusing you of something-. She can no longer judge right from wrong.. I took care of my Mom who had Alzheimers and I could hold her attention by playing movies that she used to love to watch, or play music, that she used to listen do. Always make sure your doors a securely locked in your house and when she wants to go outside, always go with her. My Mom used to try to walk away all the time
Dont let her use the electric stove or the washing machine.
There are Alzheimer Support Groups in most areas. They are of great help and you will meet other people who take care of someone with Alzheimers.
This is a great challenge. I wish you best.May God bless you.

My heart goes out to you. My mother is in the advanced stages, she hasn't a clue who I am. We must find a cure for this disease. The numbers are growing each year and those being afflicted are getting younger. Some in their late thirties. Showing that you love them is all you can do.
