[quote=Anonymous]The only success I have ever found is saying “If you choose to move (or modify the house and bring help in) then you maximize your autonomy and control. If you don’t make the choice, you will end up wherever there is a bed available.” If there’s any openness to moving schedule tours/viewings immediately. Keep emphasizing that you are facilitating maximizing independence. It hasn’t worked every time, but it’s the only thing that has worked. It does sound like an evaluation is in order, and if you haven’t talked with Dad about POAs and finances, that needs to happen as well. I’m assuming Mom is not competent, but if she’s actually MCI and still competent, include her as well. [/quote]
