[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. They are on a pretty tight fixed budget but they don't like to accept a lot of help. They can meet all their basic needs but have little left over for any extras. I tried to have an aging professional come in as an assessment to see what they need and I focused on how maybe they could provide physiotherapy as that is pretty neutral but she refused to have the person come. Again, she said down the road maybe that would be helpful but they don't need help now. My parents are both early 80s but my mother is very healthy and considers herself still very young and doesn't want any reminders of aging or her age or insinuations she is 'old'. My father would love to move as their house is a lot of work but my mother won't even consider it. She is deep in denial land and being quite self centered / selfish in her thinking. [/quote] They cannot afford your suggestions and you are unreasonable. [/quote]
