[quote=Anonymous]I think part of the problem is that dementia is more than one thing. There are people who are so far gone that they don’t even notice when they are brought to a place that is not their house. Then there are people like my father, who has seriously impaired judgment, but can still do many things, and wants to be in his familiar home. There is no way I could just announce to my father that he was moving to a nursing home. He is an adult and has not been declared incompetent by any court. So I just try to do the best I can to help him, getting help at home for medication management, etc. These are difficult situations, and there is no good answer.[/quote]
