Suggest Treatment For Dementia While On Aricept

My husband has frontaltemporal dementia. I am his full time caregiver and blessed I can be with him now. I don t feel resentment or regrets taking care of him. It s my pleasure. I don t know what stage he is in. He hasn t many language skills, does at times understand what is being said; he s incontinent; non combative...very content and smiles all the time; still on his feet, but unsteady; still eating, but I am careful to give him small pieces of food...feeds himself; isn t able to do any of the things he used to, but doesn t try to do them; he doesn t drive, but can tell me which direction I should go, so he doesn t get lost; he coughs and sneezes while eating; has rather shallow breathing; sleeps well and a lot; he s a very sweet man. He took Aricept for a very short time...made him depressed; I want him happy, even if it shortens his life...quality of life for him; no feeding tubes. He doesn t seem to have any of the symptoms that are listed in all the informational literature. I guess I would like to find out what stage and try to figure out in what direction I should go. I am trying to think a bit ahead...I know everyone on this journey goes at a different pace. Do you know how this will go from here?
