My grandmother had Alzheimer's. My family placed her in a nursing home, but ever single day, my mother would visit her, clean her, and take care over her more than the nurse's aids. My grandmother could not speak nor move that much in her bed. She was tube-fed for many years. She would have bruises sometimes on her legs, which we did not know where they came from. (i think its the treatment by the nurses.)
If you do decide to place in a nursing home, make sure you check out the place. I did not like the nursing home my grandmother was in, also i disliked the people that worked there. She died 3 years ago in the nursing home while the family was away on vacation. And i do still think the nurses did something wrong to cause this.
