Sorry so you want to move him to this vet home. Well, the more move, the worse it is for the  dementia elders. He will still want to go home. I think it is also the issue of how the staff treats him. He needs to join the activities again and so on. Do they have outings? They should include him more. I think he is lonely now as a widower. My FIL is widower too so it is a problem. However, my FIL loves the ladies in the home given his memory loss. I guess my FIL is sicker than your Dad. Moving itself is not a good thing because it only confuses him more.   I think the best thing is a home for memory impaired with a good reputation. I don't think the home like vet home or medicaid home is really that good.   Maybe you need to talk to the staff about activites. You don't need to wait for this quarterly report or meetings.. You can bother the staff anytime. It is your right.   Take care, Nina
