[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just nicely explain what while you love him, you have to much to do with the kids to also take care of him. Also explain you can’t physically lift him etc. and are afraid if he leaves this Medicaid home he will have a hard time or long wait to get into another.

I recommend you drop by at least several times a week if it’s close to help make sure he isn’t being mistreated.

Does he have an iPad? You could put hbo etc on the iPad. Books? Magazines? Reading glasses do he can see these things?[/quote]

I got him an iPad with Netflix and it even has foreign language shows in his language. I showed him so many times how to use it and he can never remember how. He does not read and has never read a single book in my lifetime. He watches sports or news all day on the TV at his nursing home. He told me when the World Cup ended that he would have nothing more to look forward to and life would be not worth living. Meanwhile, I visit two or three times a week and took him out to family celebrations for Thanksgiving and Christmas.[/quote]

You’re doing enough, then. Get him an iPad pillow and after every visit if it’s a good time, start a move on his language before you leave. That way he gets some variety to his entertainment [/quote]
