My parents are both diagnosed in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
They have unrealistic expectations of their ability to live without any support at all and are asking us to move them back into a bungalow with a garden in a town two and a half hours' drive away from both my sister and I (rather than the 5 minutes from my sister, where they now live).
My sister and I know that this would not be feasible at all and are finding it extremely hard to explain, and get them to understand why we could not support such a move.
Last year they asked us to move them closer to the family, which we did. They are now suggesting that we did this without their consent.
We know that this is due to the condition, and that is is very unfortunate to have both parents affected.
Can anyone help with strategies that my sister and I can use?
Thanks
