[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3777761, member: 3099"] My step dad just passed in January. He was extremely stubborn and it took a fall and resulting brain bleed to get him into an ER and then an assisted living facility. They found he had more than one brain bleed from falls prior to this one too. I personally called police for a well person check on two different occasions because EMSA was here every week and a couple of times they were here twice on the same day! They knew him by name. They would always want to get him to get checked out but he was a retired LEO and knew what to say and he always refused. Until he had no choice that is. He was there for just over a year and after several more falls and another brain bleed he had to go to a memory care facility. Dementia is a horrible thing. He could remember things in the long past but didn't even know if he'd had lunch that day much less what it was. My mother will have to go to assisted living at some point. Her vision is so bad she's basically blind and she needs a cane or walker to motor around the house some days. She's just unable to do many of the things we all have to do for daily living without assistance. I ain't looking forward to that day but I can see light in the tunnel. It's gonna suck... [/QUOTE]
