@mydadscaregiver1 Good morning! You are certainly in a ‘pickle’ of a situation. You can start by finding the VA Service Officer who will be able to help you with all things related to his being a veteran. You can also call the Aging Services in your town. Do you have access to a computer? Look up “help for seniors.” Make a list of the agencies mentioned and start calling. If you don’t have a computer, the local library probably does.
And I agree with @frances007 about the car. You don’t want him driving! And, most is all, take care of yourself!
Will you look us some agencies and make calls tomorrow? Let me know what you learn
