[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry he sounds senile. I do not think he needs a job at this point in life. Maybe there is a golf group or American Legion club or similar you can drop him off at.[/quote]

This is OP. I am starting to think you may be right. It's possible that he might have some early senility. I think something like Home Depot might be good for him, not sure if he could do much else that people posted on here. I dunno if I want him to be a crossing guard or cafeteria monitor, those might be too intense and require too much responsibility. I also have tried explaining that if I am working on something or on a zoom call, he should try to be mindful but he seems to think what he does is equally as important. It's not, but I am wondering if this kind of lack of logic is in line with becoming senile.[/quote]

He is not capable of safely working anywhere, particularly something like Home Depot, where there is machinery around. He is also likely no longer cognitively able to work in any role that requires handling people's money (E.g., cashier).

He does not need a job. In fact, sounds like he is at the point where YOU need to pay someone else to keep him safe and keep him occupied. Look into senior center programs, senior daycare, that kind of thing.[/quote]
