We admitted Dad to a skilled nursing facility yesterday [View all]

My brother (his primary care-giver for the last 7 months) says that Dad's dementia and paranoia has turned delusional. (I won't get tinto the details of the delusions, but they're pretty bad.)

Dad obviously needs care that we can't give him.

According to my brother and sister (who took him to the facility) dad is "unhappy but accepting."

I will be paying Dad a visit this afternoon. The facility is nearby--thankfully.
