[quote=Anonymous]Yes I'd agree with moving them to a place with the care they will need as things progress. My grandmother first had help in her live-on-your-own apartment. They were totally fine with doing things like unplugging the stove (she was storing sweaters in there) and safety things like that. The hardest part was that she was still with it enough to be humiliated when she had to move from the more independent living to the locked ward. It was very hard on my mom. My grandmother was confused and accused everyone of stealing her stuff. But it was the right decision because was not safe in her apt anymore, even with lots and lots of help on hand. After that experience, my mother has already picked out her long term care place and given me access to her bank accounts etc, even though she's healthy and just 70. [/quote]
