Any suggestions on how we can navigate this? She cannot be on her own and does not want to leave him to stay at my house while he recovers. I work full time so it would be a challenge to have her live with me but I could make it work if no other solution. If it was up to my dad, she would stay in the hospital/rehab facility with him but I don't feel that is what is best for all involved. It's not the hospital's responsibility to make sure she is taken care of.
Sure wish you the best. This is hard in best of circumstances, and being far removed isn't that.
He can hire a 24/7 caregiver, have her stay with your (if you are willing) with paid caregiving to allow you to work, or call for respite care at facilities. Tough choices are needed and necessary. Life is difficult when the caregiver is sick or needs medical procedure that renders him unable to care for the LO. A plan is crucial. Good luck.
The hospital/ rehab will not take Mom in to stay with Dad.
