Reply to comment by Unique-Public-8594 in Help for my father by noodle-face

Thanks for the response. Someone was willing to take him in, but he kind of went off the rails and no one knows where he is. His house was in middleboro but he's been around the taunton area as I know he was in Morton.

My sister was his medical proxy but while in the hospital he removed her.

Have you filed a Silver Alert with the Middleboro Police? I think that would be state-wide and get lots of coverage.

If the situation is dire, time is of the essence.

Does he have a car?

I'll look into this, thanks. Surprisingly I didn't know that was a thing.

Now that you have a plan to locate him, I would encourage you to take a break from reddit and go to the Middleboro police station immediately. Outside of the usual M-F 9-5? Still go.

Bring identification for yourself and for him.

Just go slightly add to this. He got back to me and said he's in the hospital. I have no way of verifying, not sure if they'll tell me if someone is a patient there

I’m glad to hear there has been contact. That is a huge relief to you, I imagine. Thanks for updating me. That was thoughtful especially considering you have young ones and concerns for your father, a lot on your plate.

You are smart to recognize that staff might not have the option to share information with you. It’s possible that you might make more progress as a visitor than on the phone.

Consider requesting the hospital social worker be included in his care and request careful discharge planning when discharge comes into play.

Best of luck.

Thanks! I agree, I will visit but right now I'm extremely sick (makes all of this worse). I'm having the siblings hopefully help. Thanks again stranger
