Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson and his wife, Kay, have moved out of their longtime home in Monroe, Louisiana, amid ongoing health battles.
In a new episode of the Unashamed podcast, Phil and Kay Robertsonâs sons shared an update on their parentsâ health and news of their move. Phil Robertson, 78, was diagnosed with a blood disorder and dementia last year. He has since undergone numerous back procedures and has suffered mini-strokes that have greatly affected his quality of life.

Jase shared this week that Phil had undergone back procedure ânumber 6 or 7â the week prior and requires more time to recover after each one.
âIt seems a little hard to come out from under the anesthesia every time,â Al said. Jase agreed, saying, âHe seemed in a fog for a few days and kinda doing a little bit bizarre things.â
Jase added that Phil is doing better a week after the surgery, but seems to âlose a little bit mentallyâ each time.
âHeâs got two things working against him, physically and then mentally, and so theyâre compounding each other,â Jase said. âWeâre doing our best to make him comfortable.â
He then shared that they had moved Phil and Kay âcloser to town,â making it easier for the family to take care of them. According to Jase, his parents seemed excited about the move.
âI think they both realize that weâre in the passing the legacy down phase. Thereâs really no cure for my dadâs condition. Weâre not underestimating the power of God. He can do anything He wants at any time ⊠but where things are now with my dad, there just seems to be no way to reverse whatâs going on.â
Al Robertson shared why his dad is âhanging onâ amid health issues.
In an interview in January, the eldest Robertson son told CBN that doctors had Philâs pain under control. But, as most dementia patients do, he has good and bad days.
Despite his debilitating health issues, Phil has found a purpose to keep going, Al said.
âHe still has a sense of purpose in watching out for mom. She had a pretty bad year last year, physically had a lot of issues,â Al said of his parents who have been married for nearly 60 years.âI think he feels like thatâs part of the reason he has to hang in there and hang on. Because he helps take care of her, and she helps take care of him.â

The decision to move Phil and Kay from their beloved home was likely a difficult one.
Phil and Kay Robertson reportedly lived in the 2400-square-foot home situated on 7-acres in rural Louisiana. Itâs unclear how long they occupied the home that was built in 1960.
They gave fans a glimpse inside the home as many episodes of Duck Dynasty were filmed there.
