[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking care of someone with dementia is a hard, hard, task. Not everyone is capable of doing it. You are asking for her to care for him round the clock? I think you're wrong in saying he doesn't need a nurse.[/quote] OMG! Your sister needs help! Call one of the social services agencies in your area - Catholic Charities, Jewish, etc. and there will be someone who can help you figure out your options. Does your father have assets? How much can each of you reasonably contribute to his care? There is NO way that you can reasonably expect your sister to take care of him BY HERSELF 24/7. If $7,000/per month is too expensive, then you and she need to find alternatives and that can perhaps include a nurse's aide in the house (depending on what he level of care he needs).[/quote]
