Really need some help. My husband and I have set up a visit for all 3 of us to check out the program, it's affiliated with U of M so we know it will be good. The problem is my Bil is 71 but most days he thinks he is 46, so we're supposing he will veto it without giving it a chance. His dr. recommended it because he is frustrated anxious and completely bored can not even concentrate on a football game anymore. It would be so good for him to socialize if for no other reason it wouldn't be just family (which he is sick of !) Here's the problem we don't know how to tell him, my husband, thinks we should just walk into this place with him and not even tell him what it is we'll meet with the director and everything would just work out-------to me this sounds nuts, but maybe i'm wrong. Hub said if i have a better plan then we'll try it, but i honestly don't know what to do, Please if anyone has a suggestion would you please pass it my way. HELP
If you cannot reason with him then ask the center for suggestions
Get him there by any means, fair or foul. If simply telling him the truth would work, as it did with my husband, then try that!
Everyone knows that you don't have to "read of someone" to come up with really great tricks of your own! Lol.
There was a real crazy idea I had just the other day, and I think it started with this thread, about daycare. What if I became the daycare here at my home, then family would pick up my loved-one-elder and take him home.
'Absolutely NOT, I could not possibly do that', as I was talking to myself.
Guess that visiting at his home will just have to do for now.
