charge for the guns

I am on vacation from work this week. I was planning to do some vacation things, like, I dunno, rent a car and go walk in the woods or something.

Instead I may be visiting assisted living residences to try and find an alternative housing arrangement for the Old Man. The hospital wants to discharge him, but his retirement residence is pushing back on letting him move back. I read his lease agreement, and he is covered by the Landlord Tenant Act so while they technically can't prevent him from moving home, they can apply to evict him on the grounds that his care needs exceed what they are designed to accommodate.

There is a conference call on Monday between hospital staff, residence management and his home care coordinator, so hopefully we can hammer something out for the short term, but long term I'm pretty sure they're going to force him out.

And Long Term Care has a five year waiting list, because of course it does.

Touring assisted living blows chunks. I have absolutely no idea if anything is the same on both sides of the border, but just in case- if it would suit him and he it, maybe see if the local JCC has a place or two? The one here in St Paul had the nicest assisted living building, and with the ability to move around as your care needs change. (My mother didn’t go live there because reasons, but it really was top of the list. This is a link to that one, just in case the American/Canadian translation is falling down on the job.

There's a place that looks really good that is primarily Jewish and it's not in the middle of nowhere. (Another big problem with retirement homes.)

I'm reaching out to the Catholic one today because he's Knights of Columbus so they might give him priority.

This thing where they're moving an industry known for neglect and profiteering out to the middle of nowhere has serious red flags for me. Paired with the idea that the family members who show up more often get the grease. Yikes.
