Should I be concerned if my dad is asking where my mom, who died 3 years ago is?

My dad, in a panic, just asked where my mom was??? Was she in the hospital??? Mom has been gone for 3 years. I just asked him if he was having a bad dream and then reminded him that she has been gone for 3 years. Any thoughts?

Do you mean level of care? It's not easy, but often must be done. Say is you're considering going from in-home care to assisted living, or assisted living to a nursing home - making these changes is tough. You need to assess what care the person needs and also how much you can provide. Good luck with making changes. It's a process that involves a lot of love and care for the care receiver and the caregiver(s).
