Shouldn't it get better? "I want to go home."

I know the disease, this Lewy Body Dementia will not get better. I was thinking after Army life things would get better. As my husband's disease rapidly progresses I am finding there is no real help for him or for me. He doesn't get out of bed now. That makes it very hard to get him to the doctor for any appointments. The VA responded to that as "It's his right to reject medical care." This after a social worker had been here to evaluate him for Primary Care Home. When I called back two weeks later the nurse I spoke to said he had been denied because he is able to care for himself and can make the appointments. I wonder how they came to that conclusion? Oh, and Caregivers Assistance through the VA? They found a way to deny that. They didn't take into consideration his PTSD and depression diagnosis but based it on dementia. Therefore it's an illness and not an injury and no eligibility. This gets more and more ridiculous with each passing day. The
