[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 88539, member: 1233"] Hon if he is senile will he even remember what you said? When my gpa was in his decline, I was the one who could handle him. I told him things were his idea, and he didn't have the memory to say they were not. He got the care he needed, didn't hurt anyone during a tantrum, was happy, and was proud of himself for taking care of whatever it was. I call this a win-win situation!! [img]:rofl:[/img] If he is not able to remember things, gantly suggest things and thank him for the idea or for helping. It may not owrk, but it might be worth a try. Everyone told me it wouldn't work with gpa, but it did. I also heard it was not honest and was manipulative. I saw it as getting him the care he needed without upsetting him. And it also helped him eat. I woudl tell him he "orderd" the food from the cafeteria in the nursing home (when it got to that point) and he would eat, otherwise he wouldn't eat. Good luck, maybe this will help??? [/QUOTE]
