My dad gets chronic UTIs due to failing prostate making him even more delirious than normal. He’s paranoid thinking every pain warrants the emergency room. He keeps running out the door and I can’t chase him being alone with toddler twins. Medicaid wants more paperwork than I’m able to locate to get him assistance for a nursing home. Are there any options? I feel he needs confinement and restraint but I just can’t provide it. I feel every day he becomes more of a threat to himself and my kids. I am going crazy and don’t know what to do.
Also, have you checked if a facility would accept Dad Medicaid Pending? When my mom went to a nursing home, they did all the work and all the filing of forms. She was accepted within 4 months.
I really feel for you, having two small children and a dad living with you with such serious issues. It's scary and you must feel terribly frightened. Sending you a big hug and lots of prayers that you can successfully navigate finding the right care for your dear dad.
