[quote=Anonymous]One, look into hiring a geriatric care manager--they know the steps to go through and how to talk about this stuff. Two, do not get into power struggles over this stuff. Don't argue and expect him to accept your POV. Instead, maneuver the conversation the way you want it, stop asking permission, start lying. My advice having dealt with a dad in denial hostile to all change. It's scary for them. You are acting in his best interest. Also seconding getting him to wear his hearing aids. This makes such a difference.[/quote]
