[quote=Anonymous]We had a similar situation in my family. One sibling wanted to honor the mother’s wishes that she remained in her home. The other sibling thought she needed to be in a nursing home. Both had the best if intensions and thought that they were doing what was best for their mother. Within a few months, the mother caught her robe on fire making tea on the stove and died. She would not have done that in a facility. But, that was not something that could have been predicted. However, because if this experience, I will advocate for my parents going into a facility earlier than I would have before. It’s hard to know when someone has crossed the line into being unsafe before it happens. [/quote]
