[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with medication if possible, maybe if at some point you can visit, you can take him to the doctor? Also, agree with in home help. If he doesn't actually need a nurse, maybe just pay someone to be a companion and listen to him. (Maybe someone conservative and a bit older if he's really that into talking about FOX.)[/quote] +1. See if you can hire someone just to talk with him, play cards, etc. Maybe a volunteer from the church, or someone you could hire for a nominal fee since they don't have to do anything but socialize. More social interaction and variety in his life will probably do him good. Just having an outlet for his conversation will give your mom a break, and even if she's not comfortable leaving the house during that time, she can at least take a little break in another room or get something done without interruptions.[/quote]
