[quote=Anonymous]Does your mom have durable power of attorney? If not, it’s kind of not her call. Trust me, I have been there and I sympathize, totally. Elder care is brutal. But sometimes you can’t prevent every problem. If they’re still able to decide this and coordinate and finance the move themselves, they can, and the chips will just fall where they may. What your mom does NOT have to do is help them. I was in an elder care situation where the dementia patient really wanted to go on a trip to Europe. He would get so mad when we argued with him. I finally started saying, great, book it! Which he absolutely could not do on his own (finding the numbers, the calendar etc was not there). But he was much happier with us saying that and never got frustrated when he couldn’t. He would just talk about the trip in a happy way and how he was about to book it. [/quote]
