In response to:
I am guessing that the husband and wife are the type of doctors who don't deal with patients who have Alzheimer's/dementia. One idea is to suggest that they talk to a colleague who deals with these types of patients. You also might suggest the book, "The 36-Hour Day", which is written by Dr. Peter Rabins and Nancy Mace. And you may want to encourage them to view the HBO documentary on Alzheimer's, which is available online:

There's a wealth of information on this site for caregivers, children who interact with people with Alzheimer's, and researchers. Being doctors, the couple you work for might benefit greatly from this site.
I'll keep thinking on this situation. Again, take care!
