[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 117486, member: 84"] Terry I empathize. This is gonna come out weird no matter how I say it, so I'm just gonna say it. I'm sure someone will pounce on it. lol I have no problem bathing/caring for strangers. I can do it without thinking about it and with minimal or no emabarrassment to a patient. No sweat. Did it for years. But the same thing for a family member, well, it makes me uncomfortable to say the least. I've done it. I did it for a whole year for my grandmother. I loved her dearly and did my utter best for her. Still, it made me uncomfortable. Sounds like your Dad would have a better fit in an assisted living facility. They do pretty much what's being done for him now, but DO make sure he's taking his medications, bathing, ect. Hugs [/QUOTE]
