Does anyone have experience with dropping the love of your life off at memory care?
What do you tell them? How do you tell them they are staying in this unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people? But I'm leaving and going home without him.
My heart is breaking, and I don't know if I can go through with it.

I do not yet have that experience, it sounds like it really feels painful, and I’m so sorry for your hurt. You can visit and maybe he will be happy, that’s possible! Sending positive vibes for a good transition for both of you.

Is there some reason why you cannot stay with him and attend a few times until your husband becomes familiar with the people and the environment?
