(21,133 posts)19. Yeah for your father!
I'm so glad he has a place to live that is accessible. Its far better than some fucking "Assisted living center" where many elderly people end up as they have no one to care for nor help them out.
They wanted me to dump my late husband into such a place but I told them NO. I told my late husband I'd stick it out with him until it got to a point where I could not. That point came one week before he died.
I feel like I did right by him and can only hope that if I end up in a similar state that I will be treated with the same dignity and respect.
Again, I'm glad for your father and for you too! I'm sure its a great piece of mind to have not worrying about him all of the time.

"you should"--some people just talk that way. They get it from their mothers.
