[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. Can they consult with a social worker to see what they recommend? Sometimes there are services in the community to provide respite care, senior ‘daycare’, etc [/quote] Senior daycares are awesome and we used one, but I don't think they take someone who can be physically abusive. (They also don't deal with elopement if that is an issue). I did call the Alzheimers numbers too to brainstorm and get sympathy. Have a plan that if he ends up in the hospital for a fall or something mom needs to be on board with insisting on a placement and not having him come back home if it's unsafe for her. Call the council on aging in their area to see what is offered. You can have adult protective services evaluate for free, but it takes a while. It's not CPS where it's just about abuse. Its about general safety too and they can keep checking back if needed.[/quote]
