We moved my father in with us just before Christmas and after a few stressful months, we think his old house is nearly ready to be put on the market for sale. I've been up there a couple of times to bring some stuff back here and he's said he would like to be there to oversee things.
It's about a 4 hour drive away and having seen how he was after a fairly short drive with his carer the other day, the journey would not be good for him. Added to that, the house is stripped of a lot of decoration and furnishings and he would just get in the way as he wants to sit down the whole time. I feel that seeing the house empty could be distressing for him - it's hard enough for me - but how to dodge the issue should it arise?
