[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thanks for all the suggestions. We are in fact going to try in home care - at the cost of over 10K a week (24/7 care with RN, equipment, home doctor visits etc) and a LOT of different parts to manage. It’s possible if not likely that it won’t last long before a facility is needed (for frequent ct scans etc) but at least he’ll be able to be home, I hope for a few months if not longer.

And a note to others: the good continuum of care places (several mentioned here) offer priority to their retirement residents, and don’t have last minute space available. I seriously think if we weren’t able to afford in home care he’d end up at a facility with one star (out of five) from health inspectors (or, maybe, relocating some place far away from home where availability could be found). The nursing facility situation is abysmal. ABYSMAL! I now deeply understand why people buy into these continuum of care places while they are still healthy, and I wish my parents had done that as well.[/quote]
