After much agony, my sisters and I have finally decided to move my mother with Alzheimers into a nursing facility. She can barely see and can't remember one minute to the next. I don't think she will even realize she is in a nursing home. I plan on telling her we are going there to visit a friend. That's all. Is that disrespectful or immoral? I have been caring for my mother 24/7 for over a year and I know that she won't understand or remember my explanation. However, if any negative feelings associated with the words, "nursing home" come up, she WILL remember those. She does remember emotions. She won't know WHY she's feeling sad or anxious. She'll just pace around all anxious. I truly believe it is more detrimental to tell her. Thoughts?
