My great grandfather moved in with me as he is having a hard time living alone and his cognition is starting to fade he is incredibly rude and claims false things due to his lack of senses in his older age and has fallen multiple times. I am starting to see that this situation could get worse and I am not sure how to proceed. I am thinking it would be best to have him stay at a facility that is properly equipped to handle him though I fear the family backlash from such a situation may be seen as taboo. Is there anything I should do to properly handle this situation? Do I need specific documentation or anything? I’m new to this and not sure how to proceed he wasn’t always like this he was a good person when he was younger but I fear my kids may be negatively impacted from how he acts towards them now. Please help, thank you
What are the ages of the generations here? I’m just curious because it’s rare enough to have a living great-grandparent, let alone a great-great-grandparent (in relation to your children) in the same house. And how did this end up falling to you?
We all had children at a pretty young age around 20 or sooner my parents died when I was young and my grandparents died within the last 2 years great grandma died about 7 years ago.
great grandpa is in his 80s
I’m in my 20s
An odd situation for sure.
