Nice lunch today

 I picked up Dad and we went for a walk to altos for a burger.  I called yesterday to let him know and he was waiting for me when I got there.

He was very cheery and talkative.  We had a few good conversations.  I had to redirect him a bit (a skill I didn't know that I had).  He kept saying his foot was bugging him and that he would just go over the hill to the place to talk to the guy.

I said I needed help carrying in a box for him from my truck.  I sneakily left it in there.

Thankfully he forgot about the hill and the guy.

I spoke with the aids and he is doing well.  I honestly think the hospital scared him a bit.

I have to do some money arrangements and apply for subsidy there.  It would be nice if he can stay there for the time being.  It is quite expensive.

Provided he is okay, etc.  

We ordered a basic burger and they ended up bringing us a double!  He ate it all hahahha.

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.

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.

Moving to long term care

 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.
