How to get Dad and Mom in a nursing home when Dad does not want to go?

This is, unfortunately, something many adult children face. Likely, one reason your dad doesn't want to go is that he still feels he should be able to take care of your mom. He can't be rational about the fact that he can't provide the care she needs.

A third party (non-family member) can sometimes help with these issues because that removes the family dynamic and the feeling that the "kids" are trying to boss them around. Do they have a rabbi or pastor who could talk with your dad?
Or a good friend of their generation who can address his worries? Do they know anyone in assisted living or a good nursing home who could tell them it's not so bad?

Sometimes all people can do is wait for an emergency and then move them - with the aid of Social Services, if necessary. I hope it doesn't get that bad for you.

Please keep checking for answers here, because many in the Agingcare community have had similar issues and they will be able to commiserate with you, and hopefully provide some insightful answers.

Good luck!

If there's anything you can do not to place them in a home. I've been a caregiver for over 25 years in Tx. If you can afford for a caregiver to come to there home and take care

Of them. That's your best way to go
