My father is in memory care currently since it was the only place available to meet his nursing needs after a stroke left him partially paralyzed and wheelchair bound. His money is running out and I'm looking for a place that accepts Medicaid to take him in.
The trouble is that his current caregivers have documented his frequent angry and "violent" outbursts. I have not witnessed this but was told today that a nursing home I applied to would not take him because of these reports. What can I do? He can't stay where he is if he can't pay.
It isn't an option for him to live with me. I wish I didn't have this responsibility.
I would try to get a full report of what these events entail. What happened before? Is is always the same caregiver, etc.?
I agree that is it not an option for him to live with you. He needs a lot of care.
It's a lot of responsibility and hassle to deal with these issues. I'm sure you'll get it figured out soon enough.
I'm just at my wit's end but I plan to get to the bottom of this.
