[quote=Anonymous]Oh OP, I’m so sorry. This is incredibly hard. FWIW, I agree your dad should stay in the facility - for all of the reasons you mentioned. But do you have any control over that? If your sister has POA and wants to care for him at home, I’m not quite sure what you can do. The facility is responsible for a safe discharge and its usually the social worker who manages all of that. It would probably be beneficial to visit and meet with the social worker, or even call for a family meeting. I don’t know how much they can share with you if you’re not POA. But it’s possible they’ve observed some of your sister’s dysfunction. If there’s truly nothing to be done, then you’ll just have to do what you can to get supports in place - home care, adaptive equipment, ramp, etc. [/quote]
