Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
There is absolutely no way anyone here in this forum could possibly answer this question. First of all, you don't provide any details. Secondly, there is no way any of us could know what sort of investigation was done/is being done. And investigatory agencies are not going to let anyone know what is happening during an active investigation, regardless of how people might think they have the "right to know".
I ask along with the others - were the police called when this first happened, and if not, why not? Did you witness this? If not, how did you come to know the details of this incident? Were the accused perpetrators strangers or were they known to you/your dad? What was the extent of dad's injuries? Did he require medical treatment or hospitalization for his injuries? What was the response from APS - if any - when you called them?
We can't answer this question but I'm so sorry for this horrible incident. I'm assuming that if he was beaten this badly he'd be in the ER or hospital at some point. Were you able to be there with him? If not, he was probably able to discharge himself, since hospitals are very anxious to free up space in the ERs, even people who are obvious "unsafe discharges". If no one went to the ER to advocate for him, this is probably what happened. If he doesn't think he needs help, or tells anyone your phone number, then he's on his own -- no one will be able to legally make decisions for him. If you want an appropriate care solution for him you will need to get him to assign a PoA who will then take him to a doctor and get a diagnosis of impairment and then get him into a facility. Without a PoA you can only all APS *and then also show up when they are there* to more fully explain the situation to them. If he's by himself when they come and he shooes them away or tells them nothing is wrong and they don't think he is cognitively compromised, then they will leave him alone. Did he call you or any other family member when he was in the ER? If there's a next time he lands in the ER and he calls *someone* MUST go to the ER to tell the discharge planner that he's an "unsafe discharge". Then ask to talk to the hospital social worker to plan on how to get his discharged directly into a facility. APS isn't going to be the entire answer to his problem. I mean, it can be but it will take a long time because they are overwhelmed with cases. Did he or anyone file a police report about the attack? If not, why not?

Why do you think APS can help? Because of the assult, help find him safer living conditions?
