[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I get that the idea of nursing homes are upsetting to people. I'm Asian, and grew up with grandparents in my home, dying in my home. Same with my own parents. The issue here is that he is just very very sick, cannot walk, toilet or eat on his own, sees 8 specialists, and we've been trying to manage this at home for 5 years now. There is no way to help him without having a 24/7 person assigned to him. We are a small family, and all of us work, to provide for our children. MIL cannot do more, physically. So we get home aides via Medicaid but no show rate is awful. Mil sayx they don't come because fil calls them all sorts of vile thing. Can a home side refuse to come if he's verbally abusive due to dementia? I thought they had to come anyway as dealing with crazy ppl I thought was their job.[/quote] Its their job to care for him, but not to be verbally abused. The problem is he will probably get kicked out of nursing homes too.[/quote]
