We found a blog that tremendous advice for people who are taking care of aging parents with Alzheimer's.

It's Davy's Locker and it is written by a 56-year-old boomer who is taking care of his 90 year-old- Alzheimer's mom.

He points out adult day care may be the answer for a lot of people struggling to deal with the daily care problems he's experiencing.

But the real meat of his blog is his honesty and his turmoil in facing his mom's demons.  Alzheimer's is actually a slow death, and with it comes suffering for everyone around the aging parent.
