Since being hospitalized he has deteriorated significantly. He's in a normal hospital bed now, can't feed himself or walk anymore. He's stuck there until he no longer needs acute care and then he goes to dementia bed in hospital for several weeks until a placement is available. The Hospitalist Drs who have seen him both agree that he can never go home again. So it's a matter of time but I'm not sure he has that much time anymore.
You have provided me more information than the person assigned to my dad. She told me that Good Sams has only one bed in Lethbridge for dementia care... There is also a lot more facilities that seem to offer dementia care than what she told me about too. There is a lot I haven't gotten into because I just don't have the energy to rehash it all. It's been a struggle.
