Would it be hard on my mother to move to another state at this stage in her dementia?
I am not sure that your mother would recognize where she is living because she would be in an institution in both places. The trip may be a little traumatic but at this point the most important factors that may increase her enjoyment of life are frequent visits from her family. You did a great job by keeping her with you and your husband for 5 years. You might want to let go a little and give your siblings more responsibility for your mother.
