I will be looking for another place but they are asking me to pick him up.
My dad was admitted into a VA hospital due to his Dementia. His cycles are get worst and I am no longer able to provide the proper care. The hospital is ready to release him, but I need to have surgery in a few days due to neglecting my needs to care for him nearly a year, now. I can not bring him back to my house. I will be looking for another place but they are asking me to pick him up so what do I do? He is unable to come here, and I no longer have the space.
Best wishes,
Carol
I am aware (thanks to this forum!) that the hospital staff will try to guilt me into agreeing to take my mother home (and my mother will probably chime in!), but I am going to stand firm. I will tell my mother to call my brothers to see if they can come down (they are states away) and take care of her in her condo, because I will not be able to do that.
My illness. I just told the social worker to get her assisted living
