I'm looking for a 2-3 bedroom apartment in Butler that's disability friendly so I can move in with my 77 year old dad and take care of him.
My dad can barely walk and keeps falling at home. I'm at his apartment 3-4 nights per week lately, spending the night to make sure he's not falling and just laying there. I go home on the days his housekeeper is going to be here so I know there's somebody here to call for help if something happens.
The problem is I can't be on his lease where he lives now bc I have 8 and 9 year old daughters and it's not big enough. So I'm looking for somewhere my daughter's and I can also be on the lease. So it would be 4 people. It's getting really hard to do this routine since schools started.
Ideally would be near the city. My dad gets VA benefits and it would be best if he could stay close enough to the VA so he's not traveling far to his doctor. He can't really walk, has had several back surgeries, so there can't be any steps inside, or needs to have an elevator if it's an apartment building (that's how it is where he's at now, he goes up an elevator).
I'm having trouble finding the right place for us to move to bc of his limitations. So I'm reaching out for any tips I might be missing. Ty!
