My 75 year old brother has lived in a small camper tucked in a barn for around 25 years, he doesn't own the barn or the property It's on. It's a very primitive exsitance, no hot water or shower, toilet that drains into a ditch, but it's been his choice. Also he's a very abrasive person so difficult to get along with, or even talk to.
Anyway.....he really can't take care of himself any longer so I'm wondering what can be done. He needs some sort of housing or assisted living place, but makes no effort. He has no money, junky car, no assets, lives off social security which I can't imagine is much since he had a very spoty work history.
So what can be done? I've tried to get him to contact the local office for older adults as a start but he refuses. Any suggestions for housing options? Anyone know of financial assistance sources that would help with housing? We are in the US.
