Re: Aging parents.

[(Anonymous)]

I work in aged care. Almost every elderly person says they'd rather die than go into assisted living. What they mean is they don't want to be old and frail. But early dementia often manifests as the mean, petty streak you talk about, which is a sign of fear and loss of control. You should absolutely not be planning to care for him in his home or yours. Instead, plan to support him in aged care. It's not the easy way out by any means: elderly people in competent aged care with good family support is the absolute best case scenario apart from multi-millionaires with at home professional staff.

Instead of discussing aged care with him, discuss his wants for the rest of his life. Make sure he has a will and know what he wants to spend his own money on in his lifetime. Get a medical power of attorney in place so you can advocate for him. If possible, get a financial power of attorney in the event of him being incapacitated. The more you can get in place now, the easier it will be later.
