[quote=Anonymous]That's very similar to our situation. None of us live near where they live (it's cost prohibitive). So spending time here ourselves is a big ask. We've all been trying -- but being here is so upsetting as our suggestions or attempt to set them up better falls on deaf ears / is out right refused. She won't let us hire caregivers. They can afford it, I found someone she actually really likes, she just doesn't like being around people so she doesn't let them come. They don't have any friends left unfortunately (deaths and own significant health problems). I am blaming her. She is old and deserves care and empathy herself. But she's put herself into a "CEO"-like position that she doesn't have the temperament for and is even worse in her own compromised state. She can't plan systematically and refuses the help of those who still can (by being less impacted by age, having the natural temperament for it, or by way of prof background).[/quote]
