Since you are the one caring for him, I would take charge and let go of how the ones who are causing all the problems. You will then know that you did what was best for him.

He had ALZ for 13 years before I even considered moving him. It was very hard on me but I reminded myself it wasn’t about me but the safety of hubby. He was in the facility for 2 years before passing on. And it was during COVID so I didn’t get to see him from March -end of July when he was moved to a private room so I could spend the day with him. Hard yes, but yes I would do it again.
