Oh Bunny, when you wrote about the look on your Dad's face and how heartbroken you felt, I cried. You're trying to help your Dad be independent while be monitored, which I think is a good idea, given his history.

I think that by making his room "homier" with old pictures of himself and your Mom, family stuff that'll make him feel good. How about a favorite chair?? I see alot of rooms with chairs, dressers, etc. Whatever it takes to make him happy. Give him some time. Sure he's pissed. But there are alot of other people his age there. Ya never know. My grandfather found a girlfriend at the ripe age of 85! Even if it's just someone to hang with and reminisce with. It's gonna take time. But I think it'll work out. Don't forget visits. They're very important too.
