I moved my mom into AL almost two years ago .. I live in another state. It was hell…. My mom wanted to take everything from a 2 bath , 3 bedroom mobile home , and the AL was a studio…
Now I am moving my mom from the southwest to Midwest. She does not have enough money to have a mover, much more reasonable to buy what she needs.
My mom is so argumentative, demanding , will not listen to options etc…I even had move two rocks that were in her front yard that came from a past camping trip. They are still sitting under the in table as there was no place for them.. my mom is already starting to argue. I try redirecting… my mom doesn’t want to come to terms that she has limited funds… I need her funds to make 1 year on self pay, so she will not have to share a room on Medicaid…
I am anxious already to make this move, and I know my mom will want to take everything down to the makeup mirror she has not used in 2 years etc….

It sounds stressful, but since you think you can do this so she can scrape under the wire with her own private pay funds and have her own room rather than share one when she goes on Medicaid, and that it's important to her, then it's your decision to grit your teeth and do it, knowing that this is the age related decline talking. She may not be able to retain why it's a good idea, so if that's the case try not to argue with her or re-explain it. Worst case scenario, you move her and she has to share a room. At least you've got all that lined up!
It may be harder for her to recognize new furniture, but if you can take things that she sees every day, like pictures, or a familiar bathroom set-up, she should adapt. Ditch the rest and tell her it's all been put in storage and that you'll go get it 'later'.
Good luck.
