[quote=Anonymous] OP, see if you and brother can get him to consider an assisted living apartment. The kind where he has his own unit, but they have housekeeping and like one or two meals a day in a dining room. It's expensive but you mentioned it might not be an issue. If not, you guys might need to hire a homecare place to come in a few/several times a week. Be aware that it is as expensive as the assisted living IME. Your brother needs to be POA and get on all the drs HIIPA/contact paperwork. This is so they can all talk to him/he can talk to them. Brother will need to be the set of ears at appointments-when my dad was declining, me or my mom had to 'hear' everything at the drs, dad could not actually understand it all although he could literally hear. Brother (and you via phone) need to talk to the rehab social worker to plan discharge.[/quote]
