I was primary caregiver for Jim's mom for 6 yrs. I think I was a good one, tho not always agreed by her, LOL. It kept her in her home for those yrs, then her last 6 yrs were in a nursing home for special care there. She lived to 96, the last 2 months were really not so good compared to her whole life. She never lost her senses , was always able to walk, etc.
