[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you all who have weighed in with general and specific suggestions. It’s really just such a difficult situation because she is very much able to make her own decisions and has already said she will not under any circumstances get rid of her dogs (problematic on so many levels I know.) In any case she has worked out a compromise with the facility for now where she can stay and keep them and just has to pay an extra deep cleaning fee monthly. I honestly don’t know why the facility let her bring them. But again this is all somethings she worked out on her own  not with our help. The dogs are old and I’m really hoping they’re just naturally at the end soon.[/quote]

fwiw, maybe take dogs to vet to make sure there is nothing physically wrong?  My dog was old and got bladder stones, which made her pee in the house.  I paid for one surgery to remove the bladder stone and it came back.  My vet kindly told me that it was time for me to let go of my dog.  He explained that the dog doesn't like to live soiling itself and she was quite old and it would be a kindness to put her down.  I was very grateful that he tactfully gave me permission in this way to make my pet more comfortable. [/quote]

Yes, I hope your mother's dogs are receiving adequate care. Pain, blindness, deafness, anxiety that comes with age, all lead to behavioral problems.[/quote]

That is really up to OP’s mom, the owner.
