As mentioned in an earlier post, visit the local social services office. It may be called welfare office or social worker's office. Ask what help is available if/when his condition worsens.

Go to the library and ask for books on dementia care. Alzheimers care or whatever the library might call it. You need information on how to prevent him wandering or causing harm to himself, your living quarters, etc.

Information on how to set up structured days since repetitive activities give a sense of security that he will need.
