Answer 2

Call your local hospital and ask for a social worker. they should be able to put you in contact with organizations that can help you. I did this when my mother in law had Alzheimer's. I even got the name of a lawyer specializing in elder law. It's a horrible disease, and so hard on the caregiver. Make sure to be persistent in your search, don't give up. You can't do this alone.
