[quote=Anonymous]81 year old parents, father is primary caregiver to mother who has physical decline and heart failure confined to wheelchair and cannot be left alone due to risk of fall. Father has dementia and only drives 2-3 miles to pick up groceries. Both have to be driven to doc appointments/procedures that are 30-40 minutes away. Large 4 bedroom house is cluttered, they cannot maintain it and dirty after they cancelled maid service and they won’t move. Attempts to clean up a room or remove furniture that is falling apart are met with resistance so decline of house will continue. One good thing - in solid financial condition due to home ownership and pension, but bill paying and other admin tasks are falling behind. Some would say so what this isn’t that bad and others would say there is much room for improvement. While I wouldn’t live like this they are accepting of their deteriorating environment. Lots of good input and experience here…how bad is this?[/quote]
