It seemed to help dad a lot. He was sleeping less talking more fluently. However he may have had another stroke... well... he did... we just didnt get it verified but we can see enough evidence of it. So at the moment we are waiting for the dust to clear from that.

Slight improvement. Dad's physical health is good, so you can get him to take a shower and brush his teeth, but you have to tell him every time. He has three phases of each day. From waking to 4:00PM is reasonably good, 4:00PM to bed time he is bored, and night time, he is Dr. Jekel.
