← Return to Taking Loved Ones from Memory Facility for a Holiday

When my father was in memory care we did not bring him home because we feared it would cause him more confusion and anxiety. For special occasions the facility always had celebrations on a day around the holiday. One or more of us always attended and he had no idea what the date was. I think we, at first, overestimated his ability to reason and keep track of time. Once we settled in to this new routine all was well.

I hope this helps.

Thank you. Yes, your comments do help. I find solace in hearing from those of you who have walked the walk.
The facility did a fabulous Halloween buffet with great decorations. They make an effort to bring the fun to the residents. I don't know how this will turn out in the future, but for now, we are going to let my husband find his footing there.
