[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, does your dad agree with your plan? You toss in that he's a cheapskate and stoic sort of as an aside... but what are the chances your mom's plan is actually the one your dad also wants? You will be more likely to succeed if your dad is on board and agrees to the level of care you think he needs. [/quote] This was my question too. If NEITHER of them want these interventions, let them be. I understand that you’re right, that it would be better for them objectively, but it’s not your job to inflict what’s best on them. [/quote] OP here - thanks for all the thoughtful advice. Dad does want more help and is questioning mom's ability as a caregiver, so he is generally supportive of my efforts. He is wondering if he would be better alone at a nursing home than trying to go home with her in charge of his care. He has very limited mobility and will need lots of help with transfers and bathroom stuff.[/quote]
