Thoughts on moving

[zoe114]

My Step dad was recently diagnosed  with alzheimers' . My Mom lives in a small city that I really don't feel good in and it's away from family.  I want them to come live closer to me, but I worry that this will cause more confusion on his part.

What are your thoughts?

It depends on his stage and where he is now. If he is in a home he has been in al his life, it may be a hard transition.  If he is already in a home, it will be rough, but easier.

The later in stage he is, the easier the move, IMHO, as the less he will remember. Just remember to bring old familiar things like pictures, music, or whatever he relates to so she has that to "know" but it is better he is closer to someone who cares.

Good luck... This is never easy!

i think it would be ok, if he will be with family he will settle down and he will get  used to it, we have moved my father in law twice now and he is fine. just make sure he has stuff that he knows and ya are there to make him feel at home till he settles down
