[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When someone is of sound mind, you cannot force a caregiver into their home. Check out the Elder forum for countless examples of this. People have the right to live as they choose, and assume the risks. Even adult protective services cannot force someone who has decision-masking capacity to accept help in the home. Family members may wring their hands, but there’s nothing they can do.

We have no idea of the particulars in Savannah Guthrie’s mom’s case. Please don’t turn this into a tiresome debate about whether she has enough help in her home, or should’ve been in assisted living.[/quote]

The age and health described in this thread is that of someone who needs full-time help. A frail 84 year old should not be living alone in an isolated huge house. It’s a recipe for disaster. And I guarantee the other allegedly nearby family didn’t live they close and rarely visited. The NBC gals daily phone calls to her mom from 2,500 miles away are not a substitute for in-home care she needed. [/quote]

You’ve made it clear how you feel. Many of us disagree. I believe there’s another forum where you can discuss these issues. If you continue, I’ll go ahead and alert the moderator because you’re really trying to derail this thread and no one cares what you think of assisted living.[/quote]
