[quote=Anonymous]If you're Catholic, I'd contact Catholic Charities. (I'm sure there are similar organizations for other faiths; I'm just not familiar with them. ) In many areas, CC will help anyone anyway and won't do any faith-based litmus test.

It may not be able to solve the problem, but it is usually a good place to get advice regarding your options. Your sister may be more open to discussing her future and what needs to be done with a third party than she is with you and/pr your parents. I have no experience with this issue, but I suspect that the best thing you can do is get your sister a diagnosis. CC may have some ideas on how to do this. For example, it may be willing to send a social worker to your parents'/sister's home to talk with her. It might even be possible to frame this in terms of making arrangements for your parents' future and including her in those discussions. She might be more realistic if she realizes your parents won't be around forever.

Again, I'm not saying CC will wave a magic wand and solve your problem; I'm just saying that often it's a good organization for helping you figure out what programs, if any, are available to your sister and how to get access to them.
