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.
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.
