Hello: I am struggling with the exact same thing. I just keep bringing up the need to move, and he shoots me down because he loves it here so much. This is where he had his formative school years, and so many memories that he likes to revisit. He remembers things from his younger years much more than current happenings, so being here is comforting to him because it's familiar.
I read on this site that moving can worsen their condition, because everything is unfamiliar in a new place it causes anxiety and confusion.
So, do we stay here where I'm getting worse because I'm taking care of house and property basically alone and feeling overwhelmed and stressed, or do we move and he gets worse?
Caregivers have to take care of and prioritize ourselves so we can care for them.
Another consideration is we live in a small rural town and there are not specialty Healthcare providers here that he is starting to need, and I don't want to have to always drive several hours to the big city.
It's a tough one!
Hugs and strength. 🫂 💪
