[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Total sympathy to you OP. This is not a solution for everything at all but maybe you can get a Nest camera or something like that and hide it away so at least you can see her moving around or when she hasn't moved in a while so you know something might have gone wrong. You can position it in a way or put it on a setting that wouldn't invade her privacy if that's a concern.[/quote]

Yeah, totally have considered a Nest, she refuses of course,  so it would  be secret and I guess illegal , but really we have zero idea if she's alive,  fallen down, etc. Probably  will, or even a motion detector.

I’m the PP who’s parents won’t move. My SIL is a nurse and said that unfortunately, it’s going to take a crisis to make things happen. She also suggested going to your Mom’s physician and see if they will write a letter stating the situation is unsafe in their opinion. You can then take that to social services and make the ball start rolling, and it won’t be you that is forcing the change.

Don’t feel guilty if she does fall down. My great aunt refused to move and died alone on her floor. I feel sad about that but also understand that we all did try to get her to move, so no one felt guilty.[/quote]
