Hi, thank you!

I really am struggling alone. Today I had a full day of work (working from home). It was the first day that my father snuck out of the house and walked to the nearest bar for some beers, knowing full well he isn't supposed to drink any alcohol at the moment. He ended up walking there with house slippers, soiled clothing and no wallet, keys or cell phone.

I've realized today that I cannot keep him safe 24/7 and I need to do something. I know he will be safer and better taken care of in a home where there are nurses and help whenever he needs it, plus I will also have some peace of mind, finally. But, it will be absolutely impossible to convince him that he needs to leave home and move into a facility better suited for him. He will never, ever, ever, ever consider it, no matter what. So in that case, I have no clue what to do. I cannot pull him out kicking and screaming and he won't voluntarily go either.
I feel trapped.
