[quote=Anonymous]OP neither of my parents were open to evaluations or had self awareness and I didn't have access to medical information. You can still leave a message for her doctor expressing concerns so she gets screened next visit. Also, I would look into hiring a geriatric social worker to check on her and evaluate need. They can sometimes be very good at getting their foot in the door with challenging elderly. Let them know the situation. They are trained to evaluate how independent living is working out and they can also sometimes convince elders to accept services. Did your friend ever say to her "call me anytime if you need anything?" We had neighbors do that. Even with mild decline they are more literal so saying "call me anytime" can be seen as an open invite. I had to explain to neighbors they need yo only say exactly what they mean rather than tattle to me because she will simply say "no, no Betty WANTS me to call whenever I want. She said so!!!"[/quote]
