I am begging him to have her see a neuro psychologist for a eval (he only had her see the general doctor) all her life she has wanted to move back home to Quincy.
But now I am concerned as her Alzheimers is moving to the moderate stage.
Don't you think it would be wise to get an expert to say if a move accross the Country to a new house or apartment away from her her church friends, everything is a good idea or will cause more confusion?
I don't know if I can change what he wants to do but it's all I can do.

Dear sadgirl,

I’m so glad that you found us. I hope that this online community will be an ongoing source of support and information for you. Are we talking about your parents here? In any case, he may have already made a firm decision for his own reasons. Suggest a consultation to him. It would be a good idea to consult with a social worker, doctor, or someone who can bring a fresh perspective. Tell him that you want to make sure that the transition is a successful one, and that you’d like more information and tips to help that to happen. Even if the disease has advanced, there may be some excellent reasons to move. There are pros and cons with any option. Preparation is important no matter what he decides.

Both of you are welcome to call our 24-hour helpline to talk about your concerns with a Care Consultant. We are available around-the-clock at 1-800-272-3900.

I’m sorry that this is the situation right now, and thank you for writing. We’re here to help, and of course, insight can always be found by talking to a doctor, social worker, nurse, or counselor. Encourage him, and remind him that others would like to help if he lets them.

Sincerely yours,
Kathleen
