[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for all the responses. To answer some of the questions. he is in memory care unit. It’s AL where we pay extra for memory care programming. But I am getting the sense that the programming is all geared toward Alzheimer’s and not other forms of dementia so there’s a bit of a gap there. He has a one-on-one aide but the facility will not allow that aide to take him walking. I’m heading off today for a several day visit to try to see whether I can make any headway on this issue where he is, and tour 2 other places to see whether there are better options out there (although the idea of moving someone with dementia is not very attractive). Wish me luck![/quote] Good luck OP, but you are right, moving someone with dementia can be a huge problem. If you can afford, you may want to hire an aging care expert to figure out how to advocate for him where he currently is and/or to advise you regarding a move. [/quote]
