[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her it’s a temporary stay at first. You are going out of town or something like that. Then, she never leaves.[/quote] Yes. We were advised therapeutic lies were the way to go. You can say anything-house needs to be fumigated/getting floors done/whatever. You could even tell her the new place is a special hotel. Whatever will work. There are Alzheimer's hotlines where you may be able to get guidance. Sadly, it's true, one symptom can be not understanding anything is wrong. There is a name for it. Also, it's good you are posting this so people see, once you move them in, very hard to move them out. [/quote]
