[quote=Anonymous]Does she currently have an aide 24x7? Does she have the financial resources for care around the clock in her apartment? Unfortunately, it often takes a crisis that causes a deterioration in the level of functioning for a person to move to assisted living (i.e. a fall, hospitalization, etc). Is there a trusted physician or clergy member she might listen to? Sometimes it less fraught for someone outside the family to initiate such discussions. Do you know what her resistance to leaving the house is rooted in? Have you shared your concerns with her? Is she otherwise rational and reasonable? It might help your frustration if you could connect with the feelings behind her behavior. [/quote]
