[quote=Anonymous]Another thing you can try is hiring an aging care professional to work with her-check on her every few months, eventually every month then every week to assess need and hire out accordingly. It helps to remove you from the equation. These people are trained to talk to the elderly in a way that feels empowering and they can assess need. Also, too often our elders feel entitled to treat us poorly and take advantage. When it's a paid professional they shape up or they fire the person. You try all sorts of things and then if she is determined to make self-destructive decisions and is cognitively able you let it go and can have some peace if her decisions lead to her own suffering because she did what SHE wanted.[/quote]
