[quote=Anonymous]When Dad was being moved - before he was moved, we had a comfortable recliner bought, in position, iin front of the brand new, huge tv. Bigger than anything he had ever owned. It turned on to his favorite sport channel. Snacks within his reach. That is how he saw his new place for the first time. Walked into that. And I doubt he had heard much about "the move" before that. Us four siblings had narrowed a list down to a few, taken Mom to see and she picked what would be their new place. A couple of times, in the beginning, Dad asked, "why am I here?" We'd ask if he'd like to be in the place with the big tv? Yeah, I want to be there!! After a couple months, even when given the option of returning to their house for a visit for an afternoon, they declined. We moved them. Sold their house after. My suggestion is, if they will be resistant, move them first.[/quote]
