[quote=Anonymous]So sorry OP. Went though this with my parents and know how hard it is, my dad has Parkinson’s but my mom who was the healthier one ended up sick and dying first. She was in a terrible rehab in NY and I moved them to MD into an assisted living near our house. She was able to do hospice from there. He was a mess physically and mentally, kept falling, and I thought we would lose him too but he somehow rallied. His new doctor regulated his meds. He also sleeps all the time but my understanding is that this is usual with Parkinson’s. He is fairly stable now and still in the Assisted Living with increasing levels of care when he needs it. I don’t know if this route is possible but it’s much more pleasant than the rehabs I saw and nursing homes. [/quote]
