Finally some good news

 Yesterday my wife and my mom went to check out a supportive housing place.  They had to do another assessment.  It was emotional and difficult but went well.

Sounds like the place is very nice.  

Looks like they will admit him.

From what I gather we can move him in sometime in late December.  Now to explain it.

He thought he was there for a job interview.  When he came home he thought that my wife was moving in there.

I know the idea of moving him before Christmas is a bit crazy,but honestly we are not celebrating at all this year.  We are just too tired.

We will probably have to buy some furniture and things.

I'm so thankful for my wife and my mom for doing that.

It's a temporary solution, not long term affordable.  He will get paneled and then be on a list for better care moving forward.

It sorta is like time served.

He's been in a good mood the last few days and more present.  I think because he has had things to do and people to meet.  I feel like this will be really good for him.

After 3 months progress starts

 I'm going to be in a phone meeting today with the hospital.  Dad is finally being panelled.  He will be moving to a long term care facility very soon.  It will be the first available bed.  After that I can pick the place, I intend for him to goto holy family. Because of his wandering and aggressive behaviour he is being fast tracked and will need to goto a extreme care place.  Not just a regular Ward. This week I have to slowly clean up his current place and get compression socks. I went to a mobility clinic but they told me they couldn't full the prescription without being able to measure him.  I asked a nurse and she gave me an alternative place.  One where I don't have to haul him out of the hospital.

The supportive housing place doesn't think they can take care of dad anymore. I didn't sleep well last night, maybe got 2 hours (Sunday).  My anxiety is bad. Got the call that he needs to goto emergency.  Left work at 1, my mom came with me. Looks like dad has a UTI.  Hopefully they can give him a bath and get him feeling better. He's currently sleeping.  We've been here since 6 pm and it is now 2 am.  Just had coffee. I don't know what the plan is at this point.

My current mental state is complete shit

 In the last day I've had multiple calls from the home.  Typically they leave these really quiet messages that sound very anxious like I need to call right fucking now. I spoke with the home today after spending 20 minutes building myself up to make the call. Dad update:  he's barely eating, looks like hell, refuses to shave, is sleeping often. I attempted to book him in for a haircut but I think he refused. I also believe that he has not let them touch his laundry in months.   I have no idea when he last showered. The last asked me to book an appointment with his doctor. Took me another 20 minutes to call his doc. The office is closed today and tomorrow. Next week I have another assessment for him.  I'm worried he's going to freak out and punch the guy. I will likely have to take a day off work and take him to the doctor.  I'm sure they don't make house calls anymore. The next time a doctor is coming to the home is October. Of course his doctors offic...
