[quote=Anonymous]Id schedule an appt for a medical check up, ideally with a gerontologist. Best if you could accompany your dad. If you can't, try to call ahead and have a brief phone conference with his doctor. Follow up that call with a letter (mail or fax) to the doctors attention, outlining specific concerns. Perhaps a neuro test will be ordered. I think but don't recall exactly but before my dad moved into an asset living place, he had to be kind of medically cleared to determined level of care and appropriate living situation. He had to move right to skilled nursing and could not live indep, for example. Physically, he had too many limitations and mentally he was dx with dementia via neuro. [/quote]
