I am so sorry for you and your family are having to endure all of this. My heart goes out to each of you. I won’t pretend to have experience in this arena. I am caregiver to my father in our home , but do not have the same challenges.

I do know that it has been recommended to me to engage home help/caregivers to aid in care. I know that some agencies have staff prepared to work at night. (We actually had someone briefly following a hospitalization.). Perhaps this would help, if you are still wanting him to stay in your home? Beyond that, maybe you could consider putting a dorm sized refrigerator in his suite, and a Keurig coffee maker (no pot to drop and break)—helping to eliminate his need to go to the kitchen at night? Paper plates, bowls and utensils help with all this too, as well as a trash can sizable enough to handle a nights worth of discards. (My dad likes all this because when he stays up super late, or gets up super early, or gets up and down in the night—he can do what he wants without having to try to be super quiet, waking the dogs, etc).

Just a couple ideas. I know you will receive a lot of good insights here (as you have already, prior to my response). Blessings to you.
