[quote=Anonymous]Yes move her. Of course she will say she doesn't want to move. They all say that. There is a decent change your sister is motivated to move because nobody understands or appreciates just how much she has needed to devote to this over many years and it gets far worse even when they don't live in your home and have caregivers.

Her friends will likely dump her as the disease progresses unless she declines in an ideal way-becomes more childlike and sweet.I have seen it happen many times-even with the ones who become more compliant and sweet. They only have so many years left and they don't want to reminded of how poorly they could age. People want to be around those with the same level of ability. Heck even disabled elderly don't like being around other disabled elderly-even those at the same level.

It is a lot easier to visit your mom in a facility that is the proper level for her and just bring joy and be patient and live in the moment, than it is to visit her when there is a crisis, things are falling apart and you quickly need to implement more care or move her in a rush.[/quote]
