I don't know how we're going to get through this if we need to have a child there every moment to keep dad from giving in to her...
Just a close watch for the first couple weeks until the old apartment isn't an option.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

We can't be there every day, David.
And it's going to take months to get the old place on the market: it's full of crap, much of it valuable.
Then I suggest Lithium in a heavy doses.
You'll get through this,
What if you didn't read the text until morning?
FTR, the staff has seen all this before. Hopefully they give your dad the tools to deal with the escapism. (My friend's mom had advanced ALZ, her dad has mild dementia. Her mom ended up on a closed ward, but dad could come and go, as they were still living together because it made her more stable.)

I'm sure. I'm not sure they can manage her, though, if my father gives in so easily.
Would rewards help, Consuela? For your mom or your dad, even if in his case it's just to get him to stand firm.
I think you might have to concentrate on him anyway, and persuade him not to give in.
It's so hard. But like everyone said, "the only way out is through." One day at a time.
I don't know what your contract is like, I only know my friend's stuff. Who is the medical POA? I think that helped that the kids were when S's mom was adamant to leave and her dad was at a loss, but the POA docs said no.
It's not fun. I wish you weeks of peaceful sleep.
Suela's Dad!! You're doing it wrong!
No advice on how precisely to fix it, Suela, but tons of sympathy and BTDT agreement. Pisco, pisco and beer and lots of long runs.

Yeah, but I'm guessing that's easier said than done. I'm sure he's going through his own special brand of hard right now.
Oh, 'suela, that's so hard. I feel so bad for you.
Tom, you are welcome to join my fun, mostly sane fam with delicious food for Thanksgiving next year.
That's all I got now. Full of delicious food and cocktails; brain stupid.
