My dad has been living with my wife and I since 2003.He had a serious brain injury that required surgery.He is prone to seizures cause of this and He also is consider to have an altered state of mind. him being an alcoholic doesn't help. In 05 he had hip surgery due to a fall,probably cause of a seizure.
Now, in 2010 he has shattered his shoulder due to a fall more then likely due to another seizure on the same side of the broken hip.
We know his recovery from this will be difficult and tiresome. I'm almost positive he will keep drinking and will be a handful to handle. He is a very independent type of person and stubborn .
We both know that if we put him into a home,he will still wonder off alone and may get lost.
I'm just not sure if he is ready for this and I'm also not sure if we can handle the extra headaches cause by this.He will require more supervision then I can provide at this time.
Is an assisted living facility my only choice?
