My brother with leukemia....
(1/1)
Pleeb:
Sorry to hog all the real estate here, but I may as well move "my brother with leukemia" from the thread "Christmas/Vacation plans?"
I had said
--- Quote ---My brother is moving into a retirement home. It won't be expensive, as he only requires minimal care. (meals only?)
--- End quote ---
I saw him today, and it really hit home how helpless he is.......
--- Quote ---as he only requires minimal care. (meals only?) I may be mistaken on this....he may require more care.

Hello Peter. No need to make changes unless you have the energy to do it. Having lost a brother I can have sympathy for you. Hopefully your brother will not go downhill too fast. Take Care. paul m

No need to move it. Hoping your brother is doing ok. It is never easy to watch a family member with a serious thing like cancer. Hope he is getting all the help he needs. Send him my best thoughts
Pleeb:
Mom, thanks for your thoughts. He moved into a FANCY retirement home in Thorncliffe Park the other day.
My youngest brother also found an apt in East York recently. (he was living in younger brother's basement)
I had hoped he would move into some kind of seniors housing - cheaper or subsidized rent, and importantly, social contact.
He has social phobia, like a lot of family members.
I'm in a seniors building - there's always someone to talk to on the first floor - meeting rooms, reception....and we have activities, exercise classes. (some, not a lot)
