[quote=Anonymous]Oy. It took a crisis/hospitalization of the healthy parent to convince mine that they needed to make a change. And even then it took months, threatening to take guardianship of the parent with Alzheimer's (the one who was refusing to move). Worst several months of my life, consumed with worry. When they finally moved they did nothing to prepare. Nothing. No packing. It was like setting up my child's first apartment. The house with every stick of furniture still sits empty-ALZ parent won't give up any possessions and is still aware enough to protest. Seriously. It took a crisis to get them to admit a change needed to be made. And several months after moving day, they still haven't changed the address for their mail, necessitating trips back to the old house, which of course makes the transition worse. I knew it would be bad but I seriously never expected this level of difficulty. Good luck to you. [/quote]
