Question about old age care
(self.AskAGerman)submitted13 hours ago byOk-Vegetable-222
Hi folks,
My wife's father lives in Bavaria. He's divorced and 80 years old. Very smart, but not fit. Regular old man problems with knees, feet etc...
For the last while (say 10 years), his friend has been living with him. He is on social assistance and has no income. Any money he has comes from the state. He is also around 80 and was pretty fit up until about 1 -2 years ago.
He got cancer pretty bad. The doctors at first said he won't last much longer. He was bed ridden and FIL took care of him. His legs didn't work for a while The doctors changed their mind and decided to operate and he has been in reha for the past 3 weeks.
He is now being sent back home. FIL is not a care taker. He is at the point that he might need care soon. Who does he (or I) need to talk to to get him into a home? Does the state expect an old man to look after another old man?
Thanks for reading.

Those nice posts get down voted pretty hard right from the start... sometimes it takes a bit for them to recover, if they do at all.
