Good afternoon, that is a good question. I think it just depends on the individual. I go visit my father at the house every day and sometimes he is sleeping the entire time that I am there. I just go and sit in the room and talk to him and sometimes he responds back and sometimes he doesn't. I wouldn't feel bad if I missed a day visiting him if he was sleeping peacefully. If he is in a Nursing home and you needed to run some errands or just stay inside, I would just call the Nursing home and check on him. He will never forget the love that you have shown.

I have to agree with calling ahead and see how things are going. Save some wear and tear on yourself-we have to care for ourselves too.

Speaking from the POV of the LO. I suspect I won't remember if my person visited or not. I suspect I will be sad that no one ever visits me (since I won't remember if they have). I'm hoping that I will have lots of pictures around me. I'm hoping I will remember who the people are in those pictures. I know that social interaction is important, though. So i hope you are able to visit as often as you are able to! Also, I really like when people write me letters or send me photos with a written note on the back for who they are. Even if I can't remember the visits, I can look at the pictures and see that the parole in then are happy.

My husband is at home with me, he sleeps from 10:00 pm to between 3 and 4:00. Pm. He’s well, at first I was setting alarms everywhere so he’d get up, now I just let him sleep, he gets up eventually.

Thank you for your perspective. I will remember your words
