I'm writing on behalf of my son in law who does not know how to deal with his father who has a difficult personality to start with. His main concerns are the condition of the house , there is a hole in the roof, the property is very damp he had central heating fitted 2 years ago but has never used it saying it is too expensive, he had a large ariel fitted to the house because he believed he would be able to hear the tv better. He has had new carpets fitted whilst there are holes in the ceiling. He has/had a serious skin condition and needs to take medication which he frequently doesn't take. At times he appears confused but this is variable.
He has expressed bizarre beliefs such as flying saucers being soon in production for travel.
His personal hygiene is poor
His doctor appeared to be reluctant to speak about him to his son due to confidentiality issues. He is in his late eighties
My son in law lives in northern Scotland while his father lives in Manchester any attempt to get him to repair the house / use the heating is met with anger and hostility.
The son does not have the money to do the repairs himself even if he was allowed to do so the house is owned ( shared ownership with son i think ) there is no other family.
He did get social services to call but they just went away when he wouldn't let them in. Any suggestions will be welcome thankyou
