    Thanks for the other post.
    He's 61.

    First point of call is actually to make sure he has a bed.
    I'm stealing my sons and he can go on an air mattress. 'The cow' won't release a bed until the property is sold.

    Second point of call is to make sure he knows where everything is. Is kind of ok mentally, and settles.

    And somewhere in between will be all of the documentation you mention.
    I actually got him free legal advice from a Collins st family lawyer.

    He's ignoring it. Or he views it as too hard. I can't smash him around about that. He's going through enough. It's his choice.

    So it will be bit by bit from here.
    I.e. Do you need a non slip mat in the shower? What food is best?
    To be honest I've just had a week of my head in my hands.

    And my partner says 'what are you thinking'?
    And I can't even answer. So many scenarios are going through my head.

    Pressure on family. We've had 5 stays of more than 2 years each here at home of family or my friends that were in trouble.
    My kids know nothing else, and it guts me.

    But they have actually told me that they love that I do it.
    And they've promised to kick in and make him lunches. And go for short walks with him.
    They are superstars.

    Sorry for bringing the thread down.
