[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 2814168, member: 12570"] Trip I am not allowed in the Invite thread----I guess my unique brand of tough love was unwarranted---but would like to offer you both my support and some advice on your current situation. It is essential that you try to include him as much as possible in your family's daily activities. It sounds as though he is a proud man who is pissed off that he has lost his independence. If there are other family members in your area, try to get them to give you and your family a break every now and then by offering to watch him while you guys go out and spend some time by yourselves. Take this time to get his affairs in order. He will need a Power of Attorney and you need to work now to protect as many of his assets as possible. Medicaid has a 5 year look back and any transfers done within that time frame will be looked upon unfavorably. My father was in failing health and neither my brother were able (or wanted) to provide the care that he needed so we placed him in a nursing home. The care provided was acceptable but by no means exemplary. He was dead within a year. This will either bring your family closer together or tear it apart. [/QUOTE]
