[quote=Anonymous]Call the dept of aging in their state, and find the appropriate agency to send a social worker to do an evaluation. We just did this with my parents. All 3 siblings completed a form with lots of questions ahead of time. My parents each had to complete the form independently as well. Then the social worker spent 90 minutes with my parents. In out case the social worker recommended to move to a continuing care place for a couple of reasons, but most importantly, as they aged, even if they brought in help, they would become more and more isolated, which would not be healthy for them. Safety is an issue as well. Because it came from a neutral place, not me or any of my siblings, they were able to hear it and have started visiting the different continuing care places in the area[/quote]
