Wife cannot take care. No children. They life in their own condo. He was just hospitalized for pneumonia for 10 days. He can barely walk using a walker. Matter of fact, fell a couple of times in the past two days. His wife can only walk using a cane and she can barely do that. Had wheel her around in a wheel chair last week. They have no children. My friend on dialysis has on sister about 150 miles away. His wife has one sister in a nursing home, one sister in Hong Kong and one sister in Houston. They live in hoarder conditions. They have refused Home Health Care. They have refused Rehab Hospital after the latest hospital stay. They refuse meal on wheels. His dialysis center is about 15 miles away and the wife who can barely walk, drivers him there. He has refused to transfer care to a closer location. They usually call the grocery store to get simple food to cook and eat. This last time, called me. I am 45 minutes away. I am at a loss of what to do now.
