The lost is found

So, just to let everyone passing by know, my father was found on Tuesday the 17th of February at Toronto East General Hospital. Turns out he'd been there the entire time, which is a huge relief for the family. Now that he's ready to be released the question arises: Should he go back to the residence where he strayed away from or should something that would keep him a lot safer, but a lot less free, be considered.

It's a big decision and I want to do the right thing; what's best for him and what would give him the best quality of life. At this point they appear to be mutually exclusive.

If anyone has any ideas as to what options are out in the Etobicoke area of Toronto, that would be fabulous. He got kicked out of long-term residence because he was caught trying to climb the fence so he "could go out and get some smokes" and since then he's been at a facility where he can come and go as he pleases, as long as he comes back at night or lets them know where he'll be. He gets taken to classes and programs (he ended up missing his WheelTrans appointment due to the disappearing act) to keep him stimulated, but...what happens the next time he goes missing? He will; that's virtually a guarantee.
