These are some of the most difficult decisions we, as children of elderly parents have to face My heart goes out to you and your family during this very sad time. I agree with you, that moving him out of his familiar surroundings right now might be very upsetting and disorienting to him. Hopefully you can find someone to help out with some basic care so that he can remain at home. My thoughts and prayers are with you and my most heartfelt sympathies on the passing of your mom. Love, Sandra
