I do feel lucky. He is paying $6,000.00 per month. He has been there for 5 1/2 years. Very expensive, but at least I have peace of mind. It was either that or take him myself, in which case, I would have needed help. So yes, I do feel lucky.
The sad part is, none of the other relatives go to see him because they say he doesn't recognize them. Well, go figure it out - he knows me because I am there every week.
Kind of scary to get old.
