[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she is still sharp I would talk to Grandma, express your concerns and maybe take her to see assisted living facilities. From what I've seen, many elderly people choose to stay at home because that is where they want to be. They understand the risks of being home. They have a handle on what they need. Now if she isn't making sense and is just being oppositional that's a different story.[/quote] Agree 100%. Pls resist the urge to treat her like a child unable or ill equipped to make decisions regarding her own life. A nursing home would have been a death sentence for my mother--actually a fate worse than death. She preferred to live at home with the inherent risks and chose mental health and happiness over "safety."[/quote]
