How do I know when I've done all I can do? My mom has Alzhimers and lives with us . Its really advanced the past few months. She just took a spill in the shower and it was all I could do to get her out. Shes very week, hasn't eaten a lot in the past two days or so. What do I do next ?

BLT: if she has stopped eating it could be for many reasons. I would suggest calling her doctor first.
Also, my friend just went through this recently with his grandmother. The folks at hospice were a great help to him in both deciding what type of care she needed and then helping with her care until she passed away. They are angels on earth!
my thoughts are with you..good luck....
