[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother's needs are increasing after several falls this year, and she has become increasingly resistant to leaving the house (at all) and no longer wants physical therapy. She is being evaluated for neurodegenerative conditions, but nothing is definite yet. We would like to get her evaluated for an assisted living, but she is adamant she is not going anywhere. She lives in an apartment in my house, and currently has an aide.

The assisted livings have understandably said they would need her to cooperate for an assessment, and they suggested we show her some virtual tours to get her interested. We are going to try this, but I am very dubious that this will work. Just wondering if others have dealt with this, and if they have any tips. Thanks. [/quote]

I’m just jealous she lives in your house. Mine are cross-country. This is NOT to diminish your situation at all through. It’s so hard when they dig in like this, regardless of WHERE they are. You might have to include a social worker.[/quote]
