[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 478037, member: 84"] Scary. mother in law was like that. Medics are mandatory reporters. Hopefully they'll report too. Her safety is an issue, obviously. It is devastatingly hard for the elderly to give up their independence. I don't blame them either. I can't say I'd be too eager to do it either. But it can be frustrating when family and friends and neighbors have to watch and know it's a safety issue. There was once when I had to break into mother in law's house because I didn't have the key (can't remember why) and she had fallen in her bedroom and wasn't answering the phone. She said she'd been there over night........bad enough..........but how dehydrated she was when she got to the ER said she'd been there longer than over night. I tried to call her daily as did sister in law......but due to schedules sometimes I missed a day without realizing it. :( [/QUOTE]
