My uncle is 74. Severe alcoholic. He lives alone in a small shed. The living conditions are horrible. He does not have a functioning bathroom. He starts drinking from the time he wakes up in the morning. He has many health issues, Previous stroke and heart attack. CHF, COPD, etc. He keeps falling and hurting himself. Trip after trip to the ER. They will keep him a couple a days until he has sobered up and give him some fluids and then send him right back home. When he is sober (which is only when he is in the hospital or has a doctor's appt.) he is clear as a bell in his mind. I have tried every avenue I know to have him placed in a nursing home but been told that if he is not willing to go there is nothing I can do. Please Help!!
