By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I once met a lovely Doctor, he sat at his desk, I was motioned to sit opposite. He enquired about my health. He started to write notes. He gave me advice. I thanked him & left.
I was a volunteer in a locked memory care unit. This Doctor I saw had long retired & been a permanent resident in this ward for some time. He lacked insight to his Alzheimer’s Disease but gave me good advice about my complaints!
I wonder if a few friends would still bring their taxes over for your Father to look over? (Unless of course it caused him distress & confusion).
So perhaps you just tell him that at his age it's time to turn the reigns over to someone else in his tax business(if there are any), or that it's just time to retire now and enjoy his final years so he can just enjoy his family and whatever friends he may have left(as I'm sure at the age of 90, he's lost many already).
Or of course you can also have his doctor be the "bad guy" and tell him that he can no longer do others taxes as it's just not wise at this stage in his disease.
Best wishes in figuring this all out and be proud that your father has been able to do what he loves for as long as he has.
FYI my 104-yr old Aunt has been balancing her checkbook, paying her bills and doing her taxes all along, but I agree that a 90-yr old maybe shouldn't be doing any unless he's been keeping up with the tax law changes. Doing your own is one thing, being responsible for doing others' is another.
My Dad did his own taxes forever , or so we thought. He used to take them to a CPA to check them over . The guy only charged him $75 for many years . The last year my Dad was alive during tax season he was in a nursing home. I gathered everything and took it all to the CPA . The CPA told me that my father was doing them wrong for years and he would totally redo them . He let my Dad think he was still able to do them , Dad never kept up with changes and was stubborn about deducting things you could no longer put as a deduction . The CPA said he gave up trying to tell him it was wrong .
