Your mom is very blessed that you are an RN and know how to take care of her.
I only wish that for my dad as he asks all the time if he can come and live with me. That’s not a possibility as we have stairs upon stairs in our home and I just know he’d try to navigate them. With that, I’d have no idea how to deal with any of his health issues..and thus, him being in a nursing facilitly is the only place I feel he’s safe.
As his dimensia grows, I’d love to take him out to our favorite restaurants, but often unsure lately. He can get in and out of my car with a bit of help; yet taking him out to eat ..he often hangs his head; yet tells me he wants to go out for “chicken wings” so badly. I just don’t know how to deal with him hanging his head as he eats some; and then hangs his head again.
I just don’t know what to do anymore, as taking him out to eat is getting to be a bit out of the question.
I feel horrible not taking him out, but how do I deal with his hanging his head while out? Anyone else been there?
I hate to say this but if your Dad ever has failing health and ends up in a nursing facility; he’s going to need that money for his care.
And it’s horrible that if he runs out of money; if he needs Medicaid, they have a five year lookback at times. If he gave large amounts of money away within five years of applying for Medicaid, he may be denied.
At this point in time, he needs to save his funds for his own care should he get ill and end up in a nursing facility. I pray he doesn’t and can continue to live on his own.
God Bless for his continued good health!!
