Nursing home care. How do we make this as easy as possible for him?

Those of us here who have faced this don’t hesitate to throw the doctors under the bus. Tell him that his doctor says he can go home when the doctor feels he’s well enough to go. You can also tell him that while he’s gone, you are making some minor repairs and updates to the house. These are never finished, of course.

He wont understand if you repeatedly tell him he cannot go home because of the tube, his lack of caring for himself and or being a fall risk. He will just argue with you. You’ll have a better chance with what we call the Therapeutic Fib.
