I know how you feel . Husband like that. Also he has been made to give up driving. Me also as RA bad. I have not gone far for ages only go out if son takes us. Making me fed up now after tolerating it for a long while. Sorry to moan. Don’t know what answer is.

If he went to a memory café he doesn't need to do anything.

He may warm to it, as Kitty says

Please ring the Alzheimers Society or Admiral Nurses. They will have lots of suggestions for the family.

I help run some Memory Cafes and we often fund that people take a while to enjoy coming.

Is there a Men (Memories) in Sheds near you. Or might he be interested in a singing group?

Sons FIL seems to be getting worse very quickly. They have just managed to take the car away as he was driving all over the place for hours.
Yesterday they went to a day centre but he refused to do anything and said he wouldn't go back. His wife is in despair and she doesn't drive so some of us have taken him out for coffee or shopping but I don't know what more we can do.
