Dad moving closer

My dad lives about an hour away from me, I don’t visit him often as I don’t drive and he doesn’t visit me as he has a disability, a few years ago my mum told him he should move closer to the area as it’s where he is from originally so must of his family/ friends live down here. Due to his disability the council were only offering him sheltered accommodation, however he didn’t want to go into sheltered accommodation so decided to stay put. However I called him today and he told me he had been speaking to a woman from the council as he found out there was sheltered accommodation on my road, now whilst that would be nice I just feel it’s too close to home. I am NC with my sister and she has no reason to be on my road but now she will regularly be visiting him on my road, I’m really not happy about this, I feel awful for feeling this way, is it bad to not want him living on my road? I personally wouldn’t choose to live on the same road as family, area is one thing but the actual road.

His choices may be limited. This means that you can see him little and often? As long as he respects that he has to arrange before coming to see you then I think it is a plus.

He’s choices aren’t limited sorry I should have added he was offered a property in the area recently but declined it saying he would never go into sheltered accommodation, he then said he looked up sheltered accommodation and found one on my road and has asked to be put down for it, I actually think my sister may have been behind it for such a turn around (this was only a few weeks ago he was saying he would never consider it) and he isn’t good with the internet so doubt he found it himself
