My husband is in memory care and is in middle stage vascular dementia. He thinks he is getting better. He seems to be having more times of clarity. I don’t want to let him come home. I don’t think it would be good for either of us. But we have somewhat normal phone conversations. Today he asked” What happens if I decide that I don’t want to be here anymore?” How do I answer that?
This way the doctor will be the one that will tell him that he has to remain where he is.
You can "remind" him about all the activities that he has where he is.
About all the people that are there to help him.
About the friends he has made.
About all the people that would miss him if he were to leave.
