My dad has been living alone and by himself since my Dad passed away in 2010.
I thought that my dad was doing well, although I got a call from a social worker a couple of weeks ago.
The social worker was calling because my dad went to the hospital. While my dad was stuck in the hospital, a social worker went to look at her locale. They also realized that my dad was not taking care of himself. They would not let my dad go back to her house and I was called to come to the hospital. My dad finally told the social worker that she did not need any help, but the social worker had lots of pictures of my dad’s locale and they seemed to tell an entirely peculiar story. I simply talked to my wife about my dad and the condition of the house, and both of us decided that she should come and live with us. We have plenty of room in our house to make my dad comfortable, he’s not easily glad about the decision either, but the social worker said my dad has to go to a house or live with someone else. We’re doing everything possible to make sure that the house and room is comfortable for my dad. We simply purchased a small portable air conditioner to keep the room cool and cozy during the Summer months. It’s getting close to Summer now and I know my dad does not like the heat and humidity. The portable air conditioner has a dehumidifier function which will help make my dad more than comfortable.
