My 85 year old dad who has dementia needs to move from his ALF asap to a nursing home. We only need a temporary nursing home until a bed becomes available at the Veteran's Home. No one seems to want a temporary resident. The wait for the application for the VA can take 2 to 4 months but he needs to be moved now.
Where can we find help for placement? We have been told by one nursing home we have applied to that they do not want to help us if we are only going to place him short term. Another one wants 5 years of financial, even though we do not need financial assistance and it is only temporary.
We have 30 days to find a place and the sooner the better, but where???
His doctor may also be able to use his leverage to get dad a bed.
Your only other option may be to hire care even if 24/7 to care for him at his ALF apt until he can be placed in VA Care facility. This isn't cheap, but an option for you.
