[QUOTE="Fran, post: 142469, member: 3"] Lisa glad m i l is not in acute danger. I struggle with my mom about setting herself up to be in a dangerous situation. My mom's house is like fort Knox. If she were ill or there was a fire there is no hope of getting in. Think jail type bars on screen doors that lock. I am having a lock box put up that has the house keys in it in case of an emergency. Sort of like what realtors use except it's mounted on something immovable and sort of hidden. Vacation rentals use them. You can get them at Home Depot. I am putting one on my house so that if I lock myself out, I can get back in. Good luck with convincing her to go to assisted living. My mom at 81 and absolutely will not consider it. Still works one day a week. There is something about giving up the car(fortunately she never drove) and their house that just throws the elderly into a tiz. I'm sure I will be the same way about driving. In the end we have to help make their lives safe and secure. I suspect my mom will end up with me soon enough. It's scary to see our parents grow weak and vulnerable. Hope she is on the road to recovery soon. I know she has been a wonderful m i l to you. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
