My grandpa was pretty tech savvy when he was alive, but now he has Alzheimer’s and goes to adult summer camp. Recently he came home and he’s been tapping on the TV screen cuz at summer camp they get iPads 🤣

He was a man’s man growing up. Super masculine, never showed any emotions etc. but now he’s a bit softer. We don’t mind at all. He’s a bit like a house cat, does his own thing just needs to be fed and entertained. We got lucky he’s not aggressive or sexual or agitated so it’s easy to take care of him

After my grandfather's Alzheimer's kicked in, before his death, he was in a memory care home. Great place. But my uncle was the one who had to field all the calls about all Grandpa's girlfriends and their dalliances. He'd been a devoted husband to my grandmother for almost 60 years before she passed, and then he cut loose after 🤣

We're fortunately in the same boat. He's very sweet and kind. Except he does try to drive to Hardee's every once in a while even though he hasn't had a car for 5 years 😅
