Oh, yes:
My wife and I visited our former next door neighbor who has Alzheimers and is in a nursing home. He's been there a couple of years now. A week after he went into the home, his wife had a heart attack and died... a real tragedy and almost impossible for him to deal with, with all the confusion he has in his mind every day. Today he recognized us when we came in the room, and was talking lucidly. Sometimes when we visit, he doesn't know who we are. It was good to see him, and see him break into a big grin when we walked into his room.
