[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 142544, member: 179"] That's a tough one. My maternal grandmother moved into a wonderful assisted living apartment at 90. She remained there until the last month of her life when we had to move her to a hospital. She had friends, food made, people who checked on her. She fought it for a good ten years, but was so happy when she finally settled in. My other grandmother, who I had guardianship of, refused to leave her home. It finally got to the point where I had the DMV revoce her driver's license, then had to get a court order for her to be placed. At first it was assisted living, then nursing home as they couldn't handle her. It was not pleasant, but she had Alzheimer's...would wander, etc. Her house was so filthy because she couldn't see. She was also so stubborn that she would not allow a housekeeper to come in every now and then. Maybe take mother in law on a tour of the facility. I found my grandmother a friend before she ever visited. I explained her situation...took her over there to spend the day with her. She LOVED it!! Good luck to you and I hope she's ok. Abbey [/QUOTE]
