[quote=Anonymous]"Go home" means "to go back to how they were before". It's not about a place. It's about another time. Two things happen with the elderly, depending on degree of dementia: They don't recognize their former home when they go back to visit. It means nothing to them. Nothing at all. OR. They repeatedly say they want to visit their former home. A repeated request. But when it's all planned, that they will visit, they won't go, they resist. That resistance will be at the last minute.[/quote]
