[quote=Anonymous]I think you can say to your sister "I hear your concern, and I think we should work on understanding Mom's financial situation. Then we can make a decision with better information." Then you try to get clarity on everything and you try to see if her $100K is ever coming back. That should take a while and then you can make a better decision at that time. Eldercare is full of surprises and crises and things could be quite different 6 months from now (or not). You can also improve her situation without forcing her to move. Simplifying her finances, getting on waitlists, maybe getting her out of the condo ownership, maybe prepping her fully-owned house to sell, whatever is needed. Your sister will likely feel better if she feels you are her partner in dealing with things. Not just saying no to her.[/quote]
