Your best bet is to keep them right where they are. Time will take care of this problem for the family.

I agree that keeping them where they are would make the most sense if there were family members in the same area. This very thing was what caused us to move our mom nearer to one of her daughters. If she needed to see a doc, she needed assistance, and she needed another person to be the memory. Her short term memory was bad. I drove over 200 miles when she had an appointment. This was simply not practical.
Moving her was fairly hard, and she was angry about being moved for a long time. But sometimes it is the best way to handle this situation.
