Hi! I am a caregiver for my Mom 77 who lives an hour and a half away. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in January and we are getting to the point of concern with her living on her own and that far away. She REFUSES to move out of her house. I have POA and can make decisions for her, including purchasing a home. I would live if she would participate in this process instead of us having to force it. What do I do??? How do you go about moving someone that refuses to move??? HELP 🥺😩

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm going to move your post out to the main board so you get more responses. I'm sure others have gone through similar situations.

Another thread about MC. Really interesting reflections from several who have placed loved ones.
