[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 417456, member: 84"] Patricia has many good points. However..........I'm wondering. Have you just flat out told her she is NOT going home, period, that she has no say so in the matter? That it is too dangerous, so it will not be considered an option? To stop arguing with mother in law, we had no choice but to finally do this to her. I hated it because I was the one for years who had been coaching her on patient's rights ect, especially for the elderly. The arguing, though, had her anxiety kicked up into high gear and kept her agitation up high. Putting out foot down put a stop to both. Since we had medical power of attorney and doctor backed us up 100 percent that "home" was not a safe environment anymore.....that was that. We did it as nicely as possible, but we had to be firm and really stress the safety issue. However mother in law was far from being even slightly "confused" at that point. She didn't even really have memory issues. [/QUOTE]
