Joe unfortunately she passed the assisted living stage about three years ago. I brought that to her attention then because the decisions we are facing now would have been easier, but she flat refuses to move out of her house. I am afraid a case worker may step in this time. Her primary doctor has refused to see her again because he says she is living in a dangerous environment. With her health the way way it is I agree with the doctor 100%. At the age of 92 I guess she deserves to be some stubborn, but she is way past just stubborn.

We have visited this same situation a couple of times in the last twelve months. She is right now in a rehab after an ambulance ride last week to the ER. She can’t take care of herself anymore. Her mind is sharp as a tack, but her body is wearing down. She refuses to move in with my sister who just built a house and had part of it built for our Mom. She refuses the nursing home ideal.

So in seven days I am afraid we will have to force a decision on her.
