Wife of Alzheimer’s Patient Gets Job at Nursing Home to See Him Everyday

Mary Daniel’s husband Steven has Alzheimer’s and lives in a nursing home in Jacksonville, Florida. The home has been close to visitors due to the pandemic, and Mary had only been able to see Steve twice, by coming to his window. To make it so she could see him more often, Mary took an unusual step: she applied for a job at the nursing home. For two hours a day, two days a week, Mary washes dishes at the residence, and when her shift is done, she slips in to see Steve.
