[quote=Anonymous]This is such a difficult situation. Having been through it with my parents, relatives etc here are a few thoughts: Contact your county's Council on Aging. They are really helpful and know what they are doing. They have access to a lot of resources and are supportive. And secondly the hygiene thing might be what ends up moving things along. FIL gets a urinary tract infection -- high fever -- ends up in the hospital. The hospital also has people who can connect you to nursing care. FIL can go to a nursing home "for rehab" and "until he is stronger" and given his situation -- that might never happen. Good luck -- it's really hard.[/quote]
