I used to be a CNA in the dementia ward at a nursing home, most of them couldn’t even remember their own name, about half still had valid DL’s

My dad had dementia and one of the first things we did when he was diagnosed was taking his car keys. He'd for sure would have caused an accident if we wouldn't have taken his keys back then. Don't know if they take your license away here with that diagnosis but we asked the doctor to tell him he shouldn't be driving anyway so we could take his keys without too much hassle.

Sorry your dad was diagnosed with dementia, it’s a horrible, heartbreaking disease, hope you and yours are doing okay

Thanks, he died two years ago and I agree it's a horrible decease indeed. It's like you're slowly saying goodbye when seeing how they get worse and worse and become a different person. I have massive respect for anyone who works with people with dementia

Amusing to me that there's sympathetic people on a website about people dying. But all the same it's also settling. Condolences my dude
