@kjc48 If it were me, I would opt for a location both you and your husband are familiar with. I think your present community sounds like where you are leaning toward. That makes sense to me. Most dementia patients don't do well with change even though you will be going into a new home if it is in the same community it can be less stress he has to deal with. If he is less stressed so will you be. An important consideration for me would be to be in a community where there was convenient top notch medical care and senior services geared towards serving people with dementia and their families. If you stay in Florida where you are now, you have the benefit of being established patients with your current doctors. As you mentioned, none of your family is nearby and you likely will not be able to count on them for respite care. I agree with you that you have just answered your own question. I wish you and your husband a smooth move and hope you can have fun feathering your new nest. Hugs!
