I know this isn't the right forum, but I know there are doctors here. My dad 80 is in the hospital today getting an MRI and spinal tap to do diagnostics. The neurologists have said they think it's DLB Parkinsons. It's been a really terrible few weeks. He's gone crazy seeing things and thinking he's a hostage and paranoid. He's not the dad I know anymore and it's not his fault. After the diagnosis is made we are trying to make a decision on where he should go. They have given us a few options for skilled nursing facilities. My goal is to shorten my dad's suffering as much as possible. He's a christian and If God isn't going to heal him then I want him to pass away quickly. His quality of life is gone.
I see online some people saying it is an option to hire a 24 hour in home nurse. Do you think it would be better for my dad to go home and have a 24 hour nurse or go to a skilled nursing facility? My mom can still help him, but barely. He gets out of control unless the meds have kicked in. I know he wants to go home.
