Ahhhh shit I feel for you man, I know how you feel...We had to put my dad in a care facility last year as he was diagnosed with a disease called "PICKS" which is a dementia similar to alzheimer's. He had to be put in the care home less than a year of being diagnosed. Picks usually strikes earlier in life than alzheimer's and is more progressive.
My dad was always full of life and loved having his friends and family around. He always looked much younger than he was. 60 years old with a full head of hair and barely any grey. In the last 2 years he has aged tremendously his wife brought him out one Sunday over to my house and one of my longtime friends was there and he barely recognized my dad. He has lost most of his ability to communicate and his personality is very different than it was before.
Shitty thing is that the care home that he is in is almost an hour from where I live and I have been dealing with chronic illness that I have had since I was a kid and it prevents me from getting out to see him as much as I would like.
Try and spend as much time with your dad, it should help him having family and friends around for support right now. Try and remain positive and hopefully he will get better just as mysteriously as he became ill.
I hope things will get better for you man, just hang in there.
