Oh Anne, I'm soooo sorry you are so poorly, no wonder everything is getting on top of you. I don't think there is a perfect CH, I just wish there was. Hopefully when you do hear the room is ready, have you friends/relatives that can help you with the move. It's too much for you alone, especially as you are still under the weather. I'm sorry I can't offer you real help, but send a massive (((((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))) and am thinking of you. Lots of love, Diana xxxxxxxxx

Well, no, obviously! Unless you've moved to some alternative reality where life itself is perfect............... Please don't go into this move thinking that this new home, or any home will be 'perfect'.
No, of course not. I'm hoping it will suit him better, It's quieter, and the place where he is currently is always noisy, which distresses him.
Yesterday I visited the new place again with my daughter in law, and made final arrangements. It's a nice room, and he'll have his own little conservatory. Today we are going to tell the current place that he will be moving somewhere more conveniently placed for the family. I don't think my tummy will settle down until it's all over....

Good morning,
Wishing you all the best with the move!
Hope your day has smiles,love & sunshine
Hugs mammamu
R Anne, I was nervous about my mother moving to the dementia unit in her care home last fall. I was sure she would hate it and be upset. It's actually been beneficial for her. There was too much activity and stimulation on the other ward and it was agitating her. Less stimulus and more routine have been good for her. I hope the new place works out for you. Sending warm wishes.
Take all the help offered to make the move 
. I hope you both settle quickly into the new room & your OH likes the conservatory.
Only a few more weeks & you can hopefully relax as things get better

That's exactly what I'm hoping for Amy. Yesterday a friend and I dropped in there with him just for a cup of tea, and he must have felt, as I do, that his place is so much more like home. He was relaxed and positive, and even shook hands and introduced himself by name in the old charming confident way that I haven't seen for well over a year..
Of course nothing is perfect, but I do feel we are on the right track.

Anne that's so lovely to read about your Rob being relaxed and positive in the new CH. You yourself must have felt happier. Lets hope the move goes smoothly. xxxx
From reading your thread, Anne, a new home would have to go a long way to be worse than where he is. Instead, it sounds very positive, and sounds like he will be much more comfortable, and better looked after, with more to engage him. Best wishes with the move.
Di and LadyA already said, but good to hear of your positive visit to the new place yesterday Anne. Hope it all goes through quickly and smoothly.
There's a new chap where Rob currently is who is always agitatedly looking for his dog, rather like Ann Mac's( so bizarre thread) MIL and her baby. Rob has also had gunmen and sinister people plotting harm. After a period of utter incomprehension and zombie-Dom, one of his meds was halved, and then he went through a very frightened stage, and now he can speak articulately again. Yesterday he said very clearly he feels that he's been abandoned by everyone. I was sad for the way he was feeling, but so surprised and pleased that he could actually communicate it so clearly.... I was able to say I'd found "us"another place, more peaceful, which I think we would prefer, and he seemed pleased, in the moment at least....
I'm glad you were able to reassure Rob, at least in the moment, Anne.
I hope the move happens quickly, and without any stress for either you or Rob - it's going to be better than where he is now, and fingers crossed, Rob can settle and be much happier there - and you will be much happier too xxxx
Anne, things are sounding much more positive. I do hope the move can happen soon and the positive reaction he had during the visit becomes a more permanent state of affairs. I'd like to think you're feeling a bit more relaxed about it but I expect that's too much to hope for until the move has actually been made. xxx

Rob's new room is all ready for him to move into tomorrow. At the old care home today they had given him a strong laxative and he had had a humiliating accident, and my, was he angry! Hoping against hope he has a better day tomorrow.....a full moon seems to make a lot of people restless.it was noticeable today....
Hi Anne, so happy for you and Rob that the move is going ahead tomorrow, I do feel for him having such a humiliating accident the embarrassment would have made me angry too.
Hope all goes well tomorrow will be thinking of you. Xxxx
