@centre I am just so afraid he will go backwards if I leave him on his own. I get out as much as I can with private duty coming in the help several days a week, for a couple of hours (thank God we kept his long term care insurance going).

@medott For a trip with your husband, here’s an idea to consider- my parents, in their 80’s, loved going to DisneyWorld. They would stay on the property and could manage the bus and monorail systems. They had 3 rides they would go on (the Tiki Room, Pirates of the Caribbean, and It’s a Small World). They had favorite restaurants and signed up for several shows. They loved people-watching, especially in areas with pretty gardens. They would go to the boat launch area, climb aboard and ride along for an hour or so, nobody minded. They’d get off at the Grand Victorian and sit in the beautiful lobby, if they were lucky, the piano player would be there.
I think my parents felt safe there- everyone is nice, the staff is happy to help, they could move (or not) at their own speed.
