If your father is in a care facility, then you should request that the speech therapist come and evalute him. Speech therapists are there to help every patient be able to communicate as well as possible, and they have many great tools at their disposal. Sometimes the speech therapist works in several facilities and is not there every day, so be patient and persistent.
