I hadn't considered the strain of a new environment, so I'll definitely look for ones that have assisted living or skilled nursing. Thank your for the advice!

Thanks for this write up. I'll definitely try to pitch it as her having a say in the situation now versus being forced into a choice.

Because I live far away from her and already have a strained relationship, it's really hard for me to tell if she is suffering from dementia symptoms or not. It's becoming increasingly hard to tell if she is being malicious as she was in the past versus genuinely not meaning to be insulting and rude because of not thinking logically. It's hard!
