It's terribly complex but check into what's available for support for him. How old is he? He should qualify for medicare which will cover long term care for a short period of time and then if he has no assets/income or very little he could qualify for Medicaid which would take over. I'm fuzzy on this but had to research it a bit a few years ago. You could potentially get set up as a caregiver and get some financial support and maybe durable medical equipment like a hospital bed. Start by getting to a case manager or see an attorney who specializes in long term care issues.

If he's experiencing dementia it will get worse and he'll get nastier and harder to deal with. Even people in a good state of mind in his situation if he's not getting out of the house and basically in bed most of the time will experience what I've heard called ICU psychosis. My experience with this was with my father who was in a hospital for 9 months. He would literally some days be out of his mind, accusing my Mom of cheating on him, etc. The next day he'd be back to normal. Not fun.

Take care.
