My mother in law has had Alzheimer's for the past 5 years. She is living 3 blocks from us in her own house, but one of the daughters (two in town) usually take turns staying overnight with her. We promised her years ago that we would not leave her in a nursing home. We made her house safe for her, and the county health nurse makes stops there to find out how she is doing. Also, many sisters from the church stop and visit and when my wife and I leave town someone steps up to be with her.
It's a sad, sad thing to have happen to anyone. I am sorry for you and especially for your mother. It is a frightening thing for our parents to have to deal with losing what memory they have left.
Certainly there most be help groups in your area. They have been most helpful to us. They understand the plight of our parents and for us. If you live in the states there is certainly help available.
Just one last thing ... get educated about Alzheimer's ... it does not get better. I am sorry...
