What an absolutely wonderful event for them to have
discovered each other in this world at their ages and in
their conditions!!!
Helping family members understand that their role in this
is to simply accept it and enjoy their parents happiness and
contentment is the way to go on this one.
Easier said than done, I know, but persist and be patient
and things will work out fine. Bring in your ombudsperson

Does anyone have any good advice on what the best way to
handle two
residents who believe that they are husband and wife and it
is very
upsetting to their families when they visit to see them
together? This
is in our alzheimers unit and they are really not
inappropriate other
than they are not really married. Actions are like holding
hands,
hugging, kissing on the cheek, and one time so far laying
in bed
together. Thanks for your input and help!
