Curious about managing in-home care for my dad while living 2 hours away. Is anybody else in a similar situation?

Thanks. He is in a neck brace now. His arms and legs are working, but not real strong yet. He can feel everything. The injury was a month ago and last surgery 3 weeks ago. Mostly it's blood pressure and bathroom stuff that I'm concerned about. He may need help getting around the house and doing things like cooking when he gets home too. One problem with where I live is that the closest assisted living/nursing home is at least an hour away. (Also an issue for seniors in this community). Thanks for the support on not up-rooting myself. Sometimes it seems like the best thing.....but doesn't make much sense. I am 2 hours from him, the rest of the family is 3.5 (my location is between him and the rest of the fam). If I moved close to him an we move him closer to the 3.5 hour people I'd then be on the wrong end of it all eventually.

How much help will he need?
Have you discussed this with the Therapists at the Rehab where he is?
Is your dad a Veteran? If so get in contact with his local Veterans Assistance Commission they can help determine how much help the VA can provide.
He might qualify for a little or a lot.
Bottom line though he will have to hire caregivers if he needs a lot of care. The amount of care he needs will be determined by his recovery in rehab.
If he is going to need full time, 24/7/365 care looking into a Skilled Nursing Facility might be the best option.
Do NOT uproot yourself.
If helping him is a priority for you then uprooting HIM and moving him closer to you would be better. Notice I did not say moving him in with you.

Do not uproot yourself for any reason. If his condition is long-term it would be better to move him closer to you, if you are his PoA and wish to provide more active hands-on caregiving besides management.
