in I Am a Caregiver (General Topics)

my husband and I are his grandmothers (who has demetia) current caretakers. we were recently asked to move out so her children can take care of her. we dont want to cause her any trauma so we were thinking about moving slowly so she can get used to seeing them more rather than us.

if anyone has any tips on how to do this best I would really like to hear from others.

    Tough one! I understand how much you love your gma and don't want her to have an upset!

     For logistics, if one of her children will divert her with an outing, you can pack your bags and move to your own place in one fell swoop. Then, as I assume the children have POA and thus "are the bosses", ask if you may continue to visit frequently. You aren't saying anything about the solidity of relationships you may have with these children. The more understanding you can be, the less upset Grandma will get. Emotional tone is just as important as continuity of care. Good luck with this!!
