I wonder if moving his father to an assisted living facility at some point will be a better option. I have little experience with this topic so I am genuinely curious.
In my experience, these facilities are all in crisis. They can't find people to staff the facilities and provide care and when they do, they can't afford to pay them.
My father has a neurodegenerative disorder and we've struggled to find a place that will provide consistent care. My mother, a retired nurse, is the one who tends to do a significant amount of the work to feed, clean, and otherwise care for him despite paying over $10k/month. It's infuriating.
Oh wow, that's frustrating! I hope you find someone to provide consistent care at a reasonable price. Btw do your parents live in a state with high cost of living or this is a general situation across the country?
Midwest, so cost of living is relatively low to moderate. I don't have firsthand experience elsewhere but it's my understanding that what we experience isn't uncommon.
This is the third facility he's been in and options are limited because a lot of facilities aren't staffed to provide memory care. Unfortunately, there just aren't many options unless you're wealthy enough to have in-home care.
