I had the same easy going dad. He too had a stroke in 2019. Fortunately I was visiting at that time and was able to get him to hospital. They were able to pull the clot out. He was like new after that. (He in Nj, me in Fl). So I did hire a 24/7 caregiver, kept questioning myself nursing home? home care? Then covid hit. Home was the best option! I continued to visit every 3 months and stayed a month at a time. Learned a lot about his life during those times. Ask all the questions NOW how did your and mom meet? What was your childhood like? etc. He passed last year at 102 years old. Miss those visits.
