Have wanted my brother who is 85 to be in a home because he has had 3 strokes and cannot use his right hand and has drop leg on his right foot. He is in the hospital right now because of bladder infection but is in there every 3 weeks to 3 days. I have complained to Fraser Health & the hospital in Chilliwack. Finally he is getting a Dr. that is actually assessing him to see if 4 times Fraser Health a day is enough. It isn't but no one will listen. The lady down the street that stucco's get nose in all the time has scabies is not allowed near him for a month she calls him her boy friend she is 7 years younger than me at 56 there is to bloody way I would call a 85 year old sick man my boy friend yuk. She gets money from him all the time and there is nothing we can do about it since he actually has a sane mind. So now our family is finally able to step in and fix it since she is not allowed to be near her. I am hoping this goes well. I will not be on for awhile now as I work & need to fix this too. Good breathing to all I will miss you.

Are you able to get them to evaluate his mental competence to look after himself safely?
I am in Abbotsford, and had to get FHA to evaluate my 83 year old to determine his mental fitness to be on his own. He was not fit that that ended their argument.

Yuck, scabies. There is only one way to get scabies. If she don't get rid of it she will scratch herself to death.
I had scabies once back in the 1970's. The girl told me she got it from the sand down at the beach. The Doctor said "Yeah, Right!!"

Thanks guys for listening to me. Gerald they are evaluating him physically because he actually is of sound mind he just has always made poor decisions in his life about the women he associates with. It will be up to the occupational people to decide when he can return home or not. Until then he is stuck in the hospital until she is cleared. And yes David I had to chuckle when she said that she didn't know how she got them. I clean his bank account out as best I can so that he only has enough money to pay bills and buy necessities but I had put and extra thou in there because I just bought his new W/D and wasn't sure of the total cost. He took that extra thou out and gave it to her and there isn't a thing I can do. If wasn't such a personal horrible situation it would be amusing and I do shake my head a lot. Take care.

Well, my opinion is your brother needs to ditch his girlfriend. To bad you can't get him to see that.

I'll see how it goes when I go there on the 20th. I try to stay away from hospitals and have told him that if he were in a nice home I could visit him even if he was getting IV therapy because they do not send you out unless it is actually life threatening.
