Alzheimer's soap opera

A friend of mine, whose wife also has Alzheimer's, suggested that living with someone who has the disease reminds him of a soap opera. So, what would a soap opera about living with an Alzheimer’s victim be titled? Here are a few ideas: 

 Now What?                                                                                                                                 The Next Stage                                                                                                                           The Downward Spiral                                                                                                                   As the Mind Turns 

Any more suggestions?

    Hi Arrowhead-- Licketyglitz, who cared for her mother, has that wrapped and in the can! She's made a documentary and calls it Wine, Women, and Dementia. So, maybe, the director's "how we made this soap opera" bonus extra track lol
