Re: Re: Please help update/Elder Day Care facility

[Guest guest]

Is there a Day Care in your area for people who are not sick enough to be in a

" Care " center, or who won't stay there? It is obvious that he needs someone to

look after him, and you all have to work...check into a Day Care for the

elderly. If you are responsible for his well-being, he will just have to go

along with the plan, as someone else mentioned, get older friends, the minister

or family members involved....someone who will not let him put a " guilt trip " on

them.

We can all see that you want to do the right thing...sometimes as people get

older, and/or ill, they get harder to manage...and it is hard to see a parent

become dependent on others...but we all get there as we get older, if we don't

die first.

I am so sorry that you are put in this position...check with Social Services or

a church about an Elder Day Care facility...we have them in my city.

Re: Re: Please help update

My brother will come home from school and be turning around to go out to

work. then he won't get home until when I do. So he will not be a caregiver

for my dad. We tried that and I will not let it happen again.

People have rights, even alchoholics. The only thing that would seem to

keep him from coming home us if the house doesn't belong to him. If it

does, then one can refuse to be a guardian and find another to live, and

he can live in *his house.
