You did the right thing by reporting it and I'm sorry he has reacted this way.

My father had no connection to any of us for 20 years. He lived in a hoarded house 10 hours away from us. He had a stroke and it was 3 days before he was found. He lay in his own urine for all that time which left him with a huge sore on his back. He wound up with a breathing tube, feeding tube, IVs and a catheter, none of which he wanted. My brother and I went to say goodbye but we were the only ones because he had just been so nasty to everyone for so long. He eventually died and several of the causes were related to laying on that floor for so long.


His landlord said nobody knew what to do to help him. I will always be sad that nobody knew to call adult protective services just for the way he was living. He had no electric because of the hoarding. He wasn't taking care of himself. He was severely mentally ill. And he suffered greatly for it in the last 2 months of his life.

I know it hurts but you may have saved your father from going through something similar. And nobody should go through that. Ever.
