[quote=Anonymous]Yes, tough love is necessary. That doesn't mean they have to move tomorrow, but you can't just keep hoping that nothing bad happens. Because having to figure it all out in a crisis - after a bad fall, for example - is much, much worse. There are tons of resources out there; start with your local/city/state council on the aging (often goes by different names), educate yourself, find a pathway that will keep them safe as well as preserve as much of their dignity as possible. I have a hard-charging sibling who forced the issue, and honestly I'm so grateful that he did because it meant that my dad's final years were safe and comfortable and actually much happier than he had been at the end of his time in his house of 40+ years.[/quote]
