When my parents moved into assisted living due to my dad's Alzheimer's like symptoms, it was a very hard for them to leave the little bungalow they had lived in for about 60 years.

The very last time I really "saw" my dad was when I was leaving to fly home. He asked me where I was going and I think he was implying why are you not taking me home? It was so sad.

My dad was a very smart man. It was heartbreaking to see how someone loses their ability to perform even the most simple tasks that was part of their everyday life.

Sorry to hear of the continuing problems with your dad, Scott. As someone already had mentioned, a trip to the hospital for an accident will trigger a placement in a facility, any facility that has an opening. Probably you and your dad will be unhappy with where he will be placed.
