WITTENBERG LUTHERAN VILLAGE - CROWN POINT, IN

Submitted by:

Terri Crane, patient

my father is at a nursing home in Palos Hights Ill. It is a horrible place and my dad is ready to just give up and die. I need to find a facility that has a nice and compassionate atmosphere for him. He is a diabetic with some dementia and some behavioral problems.
He more than anything wants to be on his own but doesn't understand he cannot no longer take care of himself. Please help me as he has moved from place to place and is so unhappy and giving up.
Thank you.
