My husband seems to have reached the late stage of the disease. He is falling and hitting his head. He is wimpering and shouting. I don't know what to do for him. The facility has suggested a "sitter". What is this?

Sounds like they're suggesting someone who will "sit" with him and make sure he doesn't get up or walk without assistance. Does he use a walker?

No. The nurse said last night that he probably wouldn't be able to use a walker. I'm now thinking of looking into a wheelchair. But I'm also wondering if I should think about a nursing home instead of the Alzheimer's facility.
