Things have changed there. Dad was Mom's caregiver for several years until he suddenly became very ill. After several months out of state undergoing treatment, we were able to bring them home and put them both in assisted living. It was clear that Dad didn't have much time Dad felt that would be the best place for Mom when he passed. He died about 2 years ago, and we kids are now cleaning out the house for rental. It is hard to know how much to include her since she does have some dementia. Sometimes she insists on going to see the house, but we are hesitant because we have been renting it furnished and, although it is in wonderful shape, much of the furniture and her things have been moved or packed away. Is it wise to let her go back to her house?
When she starts talking about it, gently divert her to another subject and don't take her back.
