I haven’t been entirely forthcoming about this situation, but my in-laws needed to go into assisted living last July. Some of the family wanted to keep most of their ‘stuff’ at the house, only bringing what they needed. That kept them confused about where they were and when they were going home. Due to dementia issues, that was not going to happen. My wife finally started moving familiar items into their appartment and they have largely settled in.
---------------
One thing I have learned regarding these situations is YOU CAN'T MAKE DECISIONS by committee. Somebody has to step up and speak up. Seems as though Mrs. Nacl took the bull by its horns. (what does that expression mean? It's stupid.)
Now the four of the ‘children’ have decided to sell the house, so we went over today to tell Pa that we are moving that way. He can tell their Mom when she has a good day.
--------
and let the games begin, hmmm, re: the four adult children. Expect a disagreement or two, but don't be shocked. Sounds as though your father-in-law is more alert.
--------------
Now we have to split up whatever people want, then have an estate sale and empty the house.
As I said, let the games begin. I would be happy to help, but you are not around the corner, and I am the absolute worst driver.
Much work ahead, REST UP AND TAKE CARE, NACL.
