Good on you!

Good.

VA images from the past are still in the mind today.
We have several permanent Veterans home facilities in the area.
And I would venture to say as all states do.
They are upgraded, modern, clean, and well staffed.
And he would be among fellow vets and make friends.
Probably something that might make his life more enjoyable in his twilight years.
Everyone no matter their mental state needs human interaction.
Its part of our being......

Since the vet is 100% disabled, elderly, and cant take care of himself in most aspects of life as the OP describes.
He is probably a shoe in for a permanent resident slot when a slot on the list becomes available based on his classification.

Hope the old cat has a better life from here on out than what he has been having for a long time from the sound of it all.

That's great news, rick. Hope he's able to get one of those permanent slots at the VA, like renegade mentioned.

I'm "kinda" familiar with both sides of this. My Dad did hospice at Bay Pines VA and those people treated him like royalty until the night he passed. My Mom died from Alzheimer's and my Dad took care of her by himself for several years until the last months, when he couldn't take care of her needs by himself anymore and had some ladies com in to help him. Most folks don't realize Alzheimer's is a progressive physically debilitating disease, too.

Anyways, I really hope everything works out well for your friend. Best of Luck.
