[quote=Anonymous]The doctor is right. Legally you have to wait until something really bad happens before he can be declared incompetent. It is terrifying but you can't change the laws. Can you bring him back to his house and check in every once and while? Or hire someone else to do this? Or sell his house and let him pick out a condo or more manageable place to live? You can notify adult protective services in where he is living of the situation. They can't do anything until the police have to respond, but at least they will have your father on their radar. I empathize. Same situation with both of my parents. I'm impressed you can get him to go to the doctor.[/quote]
