Answers:
It is very sad and you are doing the right thngs by helping your dad. Look around and see not only the people who are trying to eat, but the people who have the sometime insurmountable job of trying to feed all those people.
Elderly people in Nursing homes or hospitals would do much better if family would participate as you do. Unfortunately, most family would rather complain than help out. We should all take responisibilty for our family, don't you think?
been there and done that. my great-grandmother was in one of those homes. She just simplly quit living and my great-grandfather passed away. And i know it's hard to see them like that. It's like they are waiting for death. I loved them but it's so sad to see them like that..you know

Perhaps they need someone to bring it to the staff's attention for them. They may not be able or realize how much easier things would be for them. When your sick, sometimes the simplest things can make life more pleasant.
