I think its very much dependent on where someone is at with their dementia, but more importantly we overlook how powerful emotions can be. Its all very well trying to do what is best, but it doesn't necessarily accomodate the persons feelings and no amount of persuasion will change the strong emotional ties people have. Home is where the heart is as they say and that is a very real truth for a person with dementia, wherever that place is. Moving is always difficult for many of us and it takes time to adjust.
I knew my mum wouldn't cope in care home until she had gone beyond the point of knowing where she truly was, but whatever we do in trying to do what is best there is always a price to pay unfortunately -nothing is ever 100% fool proof. I would speak to the care home and see what their assessment is as well as your own. It might be that the general feeling is that this is right for your mum now or to try again in the future
