Condolences to you and your family members.  I am getting to the age where I have lost most of my family...parents grandparents uncles and aunts.  So again peace and comfort to you.

How old was he,what was the cause  ?  My father is 72 and suffered a stroke but still wants to live on his own,but he's the type who likes being alone,doesn't answer/return phone calls so we're trying for assisted living so he won't be found like that.

they don't know the cause yet. I know he was taking a blood thinner. he was 79

My dad is having issues at his nursing home with the pills they give him,he doesn't trust the doctors,nurses and such,he says every week 2-3  ppl die there. As far as I know he's on medication for high blood pressure and they just took him off high cholesterol meds and it's a place where ppl are always becoming ill. He's been ill(flu,colds...) more times in one year there then in his entire life before that.  He's a strong guy  but me and my sis are trying to get him into assisted living where he'll be safer and have more freedom and independence.

Jw, is there any way you and your sister could take care of your Dad? I kept my Mom & Dad out of a nursing home for the reasons you mentioned. I took care of them at home here.It was difficult at times but I wouldn't  have it any other way...Mom passed at 87 and Dad at 90....maybe you and your sis could switch off?....Good luck !
