If I were in a sanitarium suffering from Alzheimers, I would not wish to have my family exploiting my situation for whatever
agenda it feels the need to advance. Nor would I appreciate the invasion of my privacy by the media.

I'd feel the same way if it were my husband in the sanitarium, regardless of whether he was comfortable there due to striking friendships, etc. It's no one else's business and certainly not up to me to publicize. It's a matter of respect for a person who can no longer look out for him or herself.

My father died after having been stricken with dementia/Alzheimers for a number of years. The disease dramatically changes people and the family owes it to the person to protect them.

Consequently, I find it disappointing to see a story like this.
