Apologies if this is the wrong thread as dad is only 67. He recently had a major stroke and is paralysed on one side. He's in a rehab place and is at high risk of another stroke. Mentally he's mostly ok and can talk and joke. He does have some confusion but they are looking into that. It's too early to know his physical limitations yet.
He lives with a partner who is not in great shape health wise and is probably an alcoholic. I don't know this for sure but I highly suspect it. I'm making myself sick with worry at what happens if and when he is discharged. I don't think his partner will cope. His small home certainly isn't suitable for a wheelchair or anything. I work full time and have 3 children and a small house. I keep thinking he will end up in a care home which make me feel so worried and upset about as he's only young and was so independent. Has anyone else been through similar with a younger "elderly" parent? I literally can't stop crying I'm so worried
