[quote=Anonymous]My dad just made a similar move, albeit within the same (very large) complex and with an interceding lengthy hospital stay. He's now pretty advanced in terms of dementia so it's been less traumatic than it would have been otherwise. It's a really beautiful place and he's very happy. I will mention one issue that has come up for us - my dad has been waking in the night and trying to get up because he doesn't know where he is. It's been an issue for weeks, and of course because he can't remember, there's little that can be done except some meds and better supervision. The first week meant tons of calls about stuff like this, so probably be prepared for that as well and make sure that the nurses' desk has all your numbers, even when you're travelling. Good luck![/quote]
