Guest guest Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hello Dear Friends Today my brother chose to sign notice to vacate the senior apartment complex where he lives. It is with out a doubt the worst move he could have made. This location is safe, the rent is very reasonable, the people are so nice and look out for him and we are 1/2 mile away which allows us to be available daily to hlep him. But in his mind it was not the place he wanted to be. He hopes to move back to the area we were born and raised and hang out with his buddies and see the old neighbors. Of course there are no senior housing complex in that area but he doesn't feel that is important. He has 60 days to find an aparment, set up moving and taking care of changing utilities. He moved one year ago September and I did all the packing and arrangements, including finding apartments for him to check out. His dementia has advanced from that time so I can't see him following through on anything. I fear this is the deal that will make me go for Guardianship in order to protect him from himself. It will be a private pay situation for us and if the court does not find him in need of Guardianship, we would also have to pay for his court expences. I hate to put my husband in a position to pay out several thousand dollars for the safety of my brother. Not that he is not worth it but we don't have the luxury of having excess funds to pay out for something like this without taking from something else. I am frustrated and sad right now but I keep reminding my self that everything happens for a reason. So I will put my trust in the good Lord and take it one day at a time.
