My father is 78 years old in the end stage of COPD. He lives alone. No one is willing to live with him because he is abusive. I believe he needs 24/7 care. My father does not want to move into a nursing home. If i feel he is need of 24/7 care and could possibly be in danger, can i place him in a home against his will.
Social Services often has to pursue protective custody in such cases.
Might he consider Hospice Care in his home? That is not 24-hour, but if he is in end stage COPD it might be worth considering.
