When I had to put my dad in assisted living, he did not go quietly, but he did eventually realize it was for his own good. Glad they are moving forward with this, it takes a load of worry off of you.
I had to keep an eye on his care though - they wanted to give my dad a med for just about everything - wake him up, help his sleep, help his memory, etc. It got to be too much that he was over-medicated. I had a conf call with the nurse and was able to knock off 60% of his meds, and then he started actually feeling better!
Best of luck. And it's good you have help and support from family
