My dad doesn't understand why he can't live with his girlfriend. They are in same Assisted living but now in different rooms. When he sees her with her private caregiver he thinks she is hurting her and gets aggressive and slapped her. Don't want to move him to another facility but they are saying he must have a caregiver (which he can't afford). The only issue is when he sees his girlfriend and they try to put her to bed or take her away from him (she doesn't talk, walk, dress, or eat without help). My dad has cognitive problems but can walk, talk, eat, dress, etc by himself.
Has anyone gone through this and what did you do? The facility doesn't seem to know what to do.
Thank you
I would like to move him but am afraid the move will be hard on him. My friend just moved her Dad and he died within 3 weeks of the move.
PS is correct, if this is not resolved, they will likely ask you to move him.
You are at a fork in the road, you arrived there when the girlfriend declined to needing a private caretaker. If dad is moved he may decline, he may not. Dad may just decline from missing his interaction with his gal. Sad but true, just show him love, and brace yourself......he may rebound!
Best of luck!
