Q
I'm trying to find respite day care for my husband who has moderate Alzheimer's Disease. He does not need to be in a nursing facility, but I need to be able to run errands etc. alone occasionally. Rather than just have a "sitter", I would like him to be with others and have some activities. Is there such a place?
