People with dementia tend to cope with routine and familiar surroundings. Changing locations, unfamiliar roads, different daily routines can be very disorienting. So while you may do very well at home for a long time it may be a different story while traveling.
Very good point. That was our experience with DH's mother, sister, and now 2nd sister.

IMO, I think it is most important to talk to your future caregiver and find out how much they are willing to take on. They are the unsung hero's in all of this. Your dream of FT'ing may not be theirs anymore given the new development. Hope everything works out for you.
