BTW, I want to add that family and friends are important to the patient. So if being closer will bring more family and friends, it would be a plus unless the new home is too expensive or has problems. e.g, my father-in-law has advanced Alzheimer's and he still wants to see my husband very much and still wants to see his lady frends although he forgets after he sees the friends. He feel insecure so any close family or friend coming to see him is a plus. Unfortunately most people don't know how to help people with adavned Alzheimer's and are not willing to become like a caregiver and treat them like kids or patients. So naturally friends don't come too often. But if it is closer to your sister, it would be important because he will rely on her for sure.
