[quote=Anonymous]And what if they really should not be living alone and need assistance? My mother has been suffering through this situation with my uncle, her brother-in-law. He cannot live alone anymore. He has been very sick, multiple surgeries for various things. The family dynamic is complicated as my uncle is/was an alcoholic. My younger cousin is highly dysfunctional, no help at all. My older cousin is more responsible, but lives in another state. He really needs help, but doesn't want to spend the money. Doesn't want someone in the house, bc a visiting nurse told him that people in your home steal. What's the recourse? My mother helps out, but is not his wife and wants to enjoy her retirement. His wife, my mother's sister, is deceased. If it were up to me, we'd find him a place and put him in there, either close to my mom or older cousin. The situation is absurd. Oh, and sometimes he just faints...[/quote]
