    Hey there @bush69 and welcome to the community from me as well!
    I'm sorry to hear your husband has to go into a nursing home, dementia can be a real stress to everyone. 
    I'm not 100% sure of the answer to your question, but I'll just rename and move your post so more people in the know will see it and hopefully give you the answers you need. I hope that's OK?
