Hi, I need advice on how to approach this situation with my dad who has dementia. His girlfriend of 12 years that has been living with him, will now be moving out of state because she has health issues and will be cared for by her son that lives in another state. She’s been hospitalized the last 6 weeks and I have been my dads caregiver. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
