Warren Wilson has Alzheimer's. He lives his days mostly in his memories of the 1940's and 1950's. His wife Grace Wilson's cancer has metastasized. But there seems to be a long-sought cure for Warren's disease. To keep them both safe, for now, their family has moved them, against their wishes, into a nursing home. No Direction Home asks the tough question that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of families will face in the near future. Do we bring Mom or Dad or some other loved one back from the "fog" of dementia-into a changed, unfamiliar world where family members have died, houses have been sold-or leave them in their old, familiar world-albeit a distant one-where they can relive their lives as they recall them, where they seem content and happy? Medically/scientifically-backed claims for cures are announced more frequently every year-so what would you do?
