AML with Cognitive Decline: At a loss of what to do for my father

Thank you. I call the facilities and leave messages, but no one returns the calls! It’s bizarre. I will explore the GCM.

Good luck! Please private message me if you would like more details on GCMs, what to look for in choosing one, etc., etc. Hopefully there will be plenty to choose from in your area.
Two general pieces of advice: since your Dad has complicated medical issues, I would recommend a GCM who has a nursing degree. And, if possible, I would choose a GCM who works in concert with at least one other professional or is part of an agency so that if your chosen GCM is unavailable for whatever reason, you have back-up from another GCM who will be familiar with your Dad’s issues.
Hang in there! I know it must seem overwhelming. But you have taken good first steps in getting your Dad the care that he needs. You do NOT have to do this all by yourself.
