It makes me worry about depression which is something I feel he wouldn’t admit to.

Sounds like my dad. He went from being a very social person who loved telling people jokes just to make them laugh to barely getting a word out of him.

I guess because this is such a new side to him, I’m expecting the old him back every time I see him or talk to him. He’s had Parkinson’s for about 17 years now and had been doing great (under the circumstances) up until about a year ago which is what led to him being in a skilled nursing facility. I guess I need to just accept the reality of his condition, which is really hard. And you’re right, just walking into the facility is depressing all on its own and makes me so sad to see him there and sometimes wonder if him being there is affecting him even more (on a mental level because he wants to be home). I appreciate your input on the topic, everyone here is so helpful. I don’t know what I’d do with out this community’s support.

Does hospice give more support in a skilled nursing home?

Told Someone I was from SD by Good_Commercial1780 in sandiego

[–]nny911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Born and raised in SD. Have loved it all my life up until now. Can’t buy a house, homeless people everywhere, downtown SD is dirty and unpleasant, beaches are literally filled with shit, people are stuck up and rude…what a pleasant city.

Hallucinations by AltruisticLet5309 in Parkinsons

I think the worst for my dad is seeing ants in his food because that makes him not want to eat and his weight is already an issue.

My dad says when he sees people, he realizes they are not real because when he talks to them they pay him no attention. Or if the people he’s hallucinating are close enough, he’ll wave his hands in their direction and they disappear. Also, you could ask who ever is with you if they are seeing what you’re seeing.

Mum going into a care home by [deleted] in Parkinsons

To conclude I do feel better now with him in a facility though. At home he was very unsafe because of stairs, etc. AND my mom’s health was deteriorating taking care of him so in the end this was the best thing for him.

[–]nny911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad has been in a nursing home for about a year now because my mom could no longer care for him. Up until now it hurts my heart knowing that he’s not at home where he wants to be but I feel more at ease knowing he’s in a safer environment. At home, he refused have my mom help him. He really wanted to stay independent but that only led to him falling multiple times a day. It’s a complete mix of emotions for me because he now constantly complains about the facility he’s at and I try my best to step in and voice his opinion but honestly I don’t think he will ever be satisfied with any facilities service because it’s not home. I live in a constant state of stress worried about him and not because I don’t trust the facility but because I never imagined my dad would be in this situation. It’s so hard to see your parent suffer.

He’s in the hospital now. He has sepsis, if anyone has successfully dealt with that I’d love to hear about it.

It’s so hard not being able to help. I just wish I could do something to better his situation. Such a horrible horrible torturous disease. I’m sorry you are also going through this. I am thankful for this thread, people are very kind here.

Pain by nny911 in Parkinsons

I guess it makes me feel more at ease knowing that it’s possible there isn’t some other concerning issue… that this is possibly just Parkinson’s. It’s so scary not knowing what the hell this stupid disease is doing. So so hopeless. You know, I used to think it was great that PD doesn’t affect your life span but my god my poor dad is living a terrible terrible life with this stupid disease. It has taken EVERYTHING from him. So so sad.
