some other medical problems but hes a real fighter.. he even took part in the 2nd world war so hes the tough person kind.
The problem here is that my family have been discussing this and they want to send him to an oldage home!! I cant believe they could even think of something like this! Isn’t it a terrible proposition? What do u think? What should I do? Please help me out!

If he's a veteran he can get into a really nice retirement community. Not a nursing home and RETIREMENT COMMUNITY. There is a difference. They would take care of him, feed him, and see to all of his needs. The bonus part...it's all paid for by the government.
