Father Long Distance

by Theodora
(Mo. USA)

My mother died Oct 30 2010 and we placed my father in assisted living. He is nearly 90 and my mother did everything for him. He did not want to come and live with me in Mo. he wanted to stay in Co. where he has lived half of his life.

I have power of attorney and take care of all of his bills and care from home for his needs however, this has become a part time job. I also find it very difficult to keep after his personal needs I have hired people to do many things for his care but alas it does not seem to be enough.... he really needs someone living with him to make sure he changes into clean clothes and such.

He wants to stay where he is and now I learn he is down to 165 pounds and he is 6'1" tall I am quite worried about him. If anyone has any help for me in this matter I would appreciate hearing from you.
