[quote=Anonymous]We went through this with my very stubborn mom. She eventually fell and could not get to a phone for almost a day. She refused a Life Alert thing. She didn’t want to go to the hospital after the fall but I said I would call the police to do a welfare check and all the neighbors would see, so she agreed to the emergency room and never went home again. It did not have to be so hard, but there was nothing we could do. Look now into rehab and nursing homes and the like so you have a list for when they are needed. It was about eight years of a nightmare for us until she died. I would definitely emphasize that once a crisis hits you have much less choice about where you go. Put it in writing in a letter.[/quote]
