It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Her daughter is her caregiver that has developed medical issues and can’t take care of her any longer. her daughter is moving away to get help with her medical issues.
Since you weren't asking whether you should or should not get involved with the care of your friend, I'll answer the question you did ask.
It's not ideal to move an AD patient out of their familiar environment because it can confuse and agitate them to do so. But AD is not an ideal situation by any stretch of the imagination anyway, and sometimes we have to do what we have to do.
For more info or to speak with someone in further detail, go to alz.org They have a huge amount of info and resources available on their website, a forum, and an 800 phone number as well.
BDMartin, welcome to the forum. We really need more information, such as what degree of Alzheimer's does this person have? Alzheimer's can last for a long time (my friend's wife it was 15 years). Will this person be moving in with you, and you will be her caregiver? Will your friend pay you for your care?
Or if she is moving into Independent Living then later into Memory Care, can she budget for the cost? Such cost are around $7,000 per month (depending on where you live) and much more in Memory Care.
Who is your friend's Power of Attorney? Will the Power of Attorney allow this person to move?
This is not a responsibility you should take on. Her daughter should be making arrangements for her mother. She should be deciding where to place Mom so she can get care and maybe make it closer to you. Hopefully daughter has POA so she can handle the finances for Mom. Now friend has been diagnosed with ALZ she cannot assign someone as POA. Only guardianship can be done now and thats expensive.
You don't mention how old your friend is but you should take no more on than visiting her and maybe making sure she has what she needs. You should not use ur own moneyfor her needs. The daughter should reimburse you.
If the daughter leaves without setting up Moms care, call APS right away. This woman cannot be on her own. We have had many friends and neighbors who were trying to do a good deed by helping only to find out they became too emeshed. Then felt they had no way out. There isca way out, Adult Protection Services.
The family will take care of her needs. Just stay in touch with family and they will notify you if she moves, and where. Stay a friend and visit her. Best to you.
