My dad is fixated on selling his house and moving right now. I called one sales manager today at Muirfield Ridge to alert her to his mental state and asked her to please not move forward with him signing any documents for a home purchase. My dad called this evening and said he had spoken with an old friend, John Morris, and John was supportive of him moving. I told my dad that we needed to be cogniscent of the fact that he has dementia and may need additional help at some point so buying a new home may not be ideal. I also briefly mentioned the driving thing and he got very irritated. I told him that it would be good for us to sit down and do a Ben Franklin list about moving just like he had us do as kids and young adults. He softened a little and said that was a good idea.
In regards to the driving, I am emailing his primary care doctor, Joan King, the driving report this evening. We have an appointment with her tomorrow and I am going to ask for her support on telling him not to drive.
