[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the parents both senile and incapacitated? Why can't OP work out with the parents what they need? If they are both incapacitated then they need a nursing home. Just talk to the parents and figure it out.[/quote]

Dad has dementia that recently increased significantly. He is in a rehab. He keeps trying to leave and having falls bc he doesn't understand where he is. I have suggested multiple times that he should not be at the rehab he needs a safer memory care situation. I'm told I don't get to have a say.

Mom until recently was getting around on her own with a walker. She will need rehab now after bring in the hospital for 2 weeks.

Mom wants to stay in their place and have aides brought in to her. She will not consider a nursing home or assisted living right - but it really is what she needs.

My suggestions are taken with contempt so I stopped.[/quote]

Your brother needs to let the social worker know he cannot do anything more. Then it's on the social worker to ensure a safe situation. If he bends to their wishes, that's on him.[/quote]
