Mike Briana has been caring for his wife, Betty, who has Alzheimers, at their East Falmouth home for four years. Mike chose the option of keeping Betty at their home, rather than putting her in a nursing home. This video, by Robert Scott Button with the Cape Cod Times, tells their story.

  • Mike If you check this post I want to tell you that you are an amazing man and husband and father... And betty was so very lucky to have you God Bless you

  • Scott that you for this Video I am a 42 yr old mother of 4 teenagers two girls 20 and 18 and two boys 17 and 13 in Sturbridge Ma and my 76 yr old mother was diagnosed 3 months ago with Alzheimer and is sadly declining quickly and I can not even contemplate the idea of putting her in a nursing home as I worked on an Alzheimer floor for about 7 years myself after watching this video I have added strength even knowing I will be doing this alone with the help of my kids and husband. Thank you

  • I just want to say that Mike, you are the most wonderful husband a woman could ask for. I admire you in so many ways. Betty is a very lucky woman to have such a loving and caring man to take care of her.

    How are things going now?? I hope all is well....

  • What a kind, gentle,loving man. God bless you both.

  • Mike, each of you are blessed to have the other; Betty especially. You show extraordinary love, compassion and caing. Thank you.

  • Wow,thats really heavey.What a good man.

  • Massaging her face will increase the circulation to her neurons. Exercise , massage, balance diet, are key to slowing the process of alzheimers.

    The group exercise with dancing is good. However, sometimes you have to go a little further. You are a good man. God Bless you.

  • Amazing guy!! i dont think betty could recieve care any better than her husband is giving her.

  • Wow, Mike is a great guy

  • God bless you both.Such a touching love story.
