Glen Campbell Is Suffering Immensely From This Dreadful Disease, He Needs Our Prayers Now Glen Campbell has been suffering from Alzheimers for going on 5 years now. He made his experience public when he went on a farewell tour. On that tour he had a camera crew that turned the experience into a documentary about living with the terrible disease. At points on the tour Glen Campbell forgot words to his own songs. The footage is heartbreaking, but does delve into an area of the disease many people have not experienced. In 2015 the disease became too much for the family to handle on their own. They had to place Glen into a memory care facility. It was too much of a strain for them to take care of him without clinical help. I believe they made the right decision to put him in assisted care. The burden of caring for a person with Alzheimers is too much. Glen is now in the final stages of the disease. His family says that he seems content. He has lost most of his ability to communicate, but he can still understand emotional responses. He smiles when others smile. He enjoys getting visits from his family, and so they have gone on a regular basis to brighten Glens day. It is a terrible thing to see happen to a person. Will you send your prayers to Glen?
