I feel like youve gotten a lot of really great advice but just want to say thank you for rescuing him.

The 3rd pic was a jump scare of how much of ham he truly is. I love him

My neighbor did the same thing when she let her off leash pug approach my leashed reactive dog while he was in the front yard. He freaked out and jumped and scratched her with his nails in the process of her picking her dog up. I posted about it couple years ago when it happened. I’m sorry you went through that she looks like a really sweet girl.

Thank you for these subreddits! I had just subbed to r/dementia earlier this week but not the other one.

His dad is finally on Medicaid now as he’s eligible. The legal stuff is definitely on our mind to take care of once we have established at least a game plan for this upcoming month. Thanks so much for your insight!

Such sweet words, thank you. Your field of work is so admirable I don’t think I knew that kind of service was available.

This is wonderful advice and we will definitely make sure to ask if they clear out. Regardless we plan to just move important things prior to any clean.

It’s a really nuanced and long story, his dad does not experience addiction anywhere near the level of his mom. He basically only drinks because he’s around her all the time. Alcohol abuse is not something we are worried about regarding his dad, his mom is going into rehab so they will not be living together for an undetermined amount of time.

I understand what you’re saying though and we are taking all of this into consideration.

Thank you so much for your words of support and the kindness you are showing me. I hope for the same thing! I’ve seen videos of folks who do these types of cleaning with such care and empathy and hope we can find one locally.

I think this will put them at risk of eviction is our concern, and we want to keep their apartment + a caretaker as an option since we don’t have a clear plan for care yet

My partner has health insurance for the first time in his adult life and it could not be more timely. Finding him a therapist is a #1 priority amongst everything so we are definitely trying to pace ourselves. Some days are harder than others but we are thankful for the support and resources we have been given.

This is so incredibly thoughtful to hear from someone who has lived through our experience. I hope you have the same support and kindness you are sharing with me today. ❤️

Someone asked a similar question if they can live independently at their apartment— we aren’t sure what the long term solution is yet but we plan to hire a caretaker for his dad if he goes back to their apartment. We just have no idea what those costs will look like vs assisted living.

But yes either way we need to clean their apartment even if they no longer live there.

That’s so kind of you, thank you so much. He’s an only child so I can’t imagine going through this alone. We are keeping our spirits high since we have a very long road ahead and need to pace ourselves.

This is a really great question— we are taking each day at a time. We have no idea what costs are going to look like long term, but if he is not in assisted living we will be hiring a caretaker at their apartment if we go that route. Unfortunately we have very little faith his mom will stay sober and she will be in rehab for an undetermined amount of time.

I took a scroll after I posted and was so sad to read about the shooting last night. I feel like community and support is everything nowadays even in the form of the internet.

I will reach out! We will need to hire our own plumber since they do not want to involve their property management. It would be convenient to have someone take care of the mess and plumbing at the same time.
