[quote=Anonymous]Think about why people go on vacations--reconnect with loved ones, make memories, and relax away from your home environment. With dementia, you won't connect with people. In fact you might get paranoid, or combative. You can't make memories. So every moment you have no idea where you are. Imagine how scary that would be. And she won't be relaxed and nobody else will be either. You desire to take her is coming from a great place. But as PP has mentioned, she no longer is the mom you know, she is a different person and you have to make decisions based on who she is now. [/quote]
