[quote=Anonymous]That's not a "stubborn senior" thing, it's just a person stating their own wishes for their future. It may not turn out to be feasible ultimately, but at least your mother opened a conversation that you can continue. She's right in that many residential facilities for the elderly are very substandard and most people do not want to live in them. Try taking her seriously, understanding her concerns, discussing options with her when she's in the mood to talk about it, and introduce your own issues relating to this future scenario gradually and tactfully since they do not apply now so aren't urgent.[/quote]
