[quote=Anonymous]My mom has severe anxiety and NPD and resisted any kind of change. It took a couple of falls before we could get her into an assisted living facility. (The doc and social worker at the rehab told her she couldn’t live alone.) It was not easy, but she is in a much better place physically and psychologically now. The psych nurse at the AL facility got her on more effective meds, and she has support and structure she didn’t have before. I also hired a geriatric care manager to be “feet on the ground” for me as I live 500 miles away. I’m still POA, handle all finances, insurance and logistics, but I can live my own life now. And she grudgingly admits she’s better off after having fought it for so long. Good luck, OP. I hope you can find an arrangement that takes some of the burden off of you. [/quote]
