Hi
My father has always been difficult - without going into the details - but he is difficult to deal with, big drinker etc. Since my mother died he has been going down hill.
My sister and I are at a point where we think he might benefit from sheltered accommodation of some sort. He is able to take care of himself but he finds dealing with the world/utilities/neighbours challenging and is prone to falling out with people etc and this is getting worse. We think that moving somewhere he has less stress might help and that we should move him while we can rather than leaving it too late.
He isn't completely against the idea which is helpful.
He owns his house and so it is completely secure where he is now - my worry is that if he rents sheltered accommodation (which I'm being told is better than buying) he may be asked to leave if he annoys the people who run it or his neighbours. That would obviously be a disaster...
Is this likely to happen? Does anyone have any experience of how sheltered housing works for tenants who are less than easy to live with and whether they are tolerated and what happens if they aren't...? My sister and I are very clear that he cannot live with either of us.
Thank you
