Today I spoke with my home care representative. And after a month of being monitored at Dad's current living quarters the decision has been made to move him to long-term care. Basically what that means is that they're unable to care for him as well. So within the next two weeks he's going to be moving to long-term care facility. I am able to put him on a list for my preferred home which is going to be very close to our house. He may end up in one spot and then be moved to the one that I want him in basically based on bed availability. It's extremely difficult obviously and very s***** but at least I know that he'll be being taken care of correctly and well. And I won't be having to rush down to his current home all the time when he hasn't showered or he's not eating enough etc.
Going to see Dad tomorrow night. I'm at my witt's end with the fucking home. He hasn't showered in almost 2 months. He has been wearing the same clothes for almost as long. They call me when he's not eating, or when he hasn't showered. I had a one day break about a week ago, then got a call, played phone tag and worried for 5 days, finally got a hold of someone just to find out it is the same old story. I had a conversation with the resident manager, and it looks like "they are going to make a decision in a month about moving him to long term care". Honest opinion it's not going to happen. I've been fucked twice already by LTC. It will be the best thing for him. The last assessment he had they deemed that he is "right where he is supposed to be". I'm thinking that in the next month I am going to get calls basically daily. I honestly think it's their MO to be doing this, waiting to see whose going to crack first. We
