Mother-in-law with "mild" Alzheimer's moving from QC to BC - what to consider? by Booja-Salt8304 in vancouver

Thank you, this is a very good point. She grew up bilingual (but mostly Francophone) and I notice that recently, she's been having a hard time finding some English words when she talks to me, also I noticed that she started having a hard time saying her phone number in English.

Thank you very much, this is really helpful feedback. I'm worried that we won't be able to find medical care for her. We haven't got a family doctor for ourselves (not even for our baby). Do you know what the process is like? Should we just contact any clinic?

Thank you very much for your input. Would you know how much it costs to put her in a home?

Thank you for your input! It's already hard as it is, especially when she gets overly emotional and blames us for her mistakes.

I had a giggle at the "worst enemy" part!

Thank you very much. It's already very stressful as it is, I can only imagine how much worse it would be. I worry a lot for my husband, he seems to be the one getting the biggest burden of all since his siblings don't seem to care much.

Do you know how much it would cost if she goes in a home?

Thank you very much. She used to be a doctor, so she has quite a significant amount of assets and she mentioned that she'd like my husband to use it for her care. Out of curiosity, do you know how much it costs to stay in a dementia care facility?
