Elder mother-in-law refuses to move to assisted living [View all]

My mother-in-law lives alone yet is becoming unable to care for herself. She has also been showing signs of dementia over the past two or three years, and is getting worse.

She is a very unhappy person, she will call my sister-in-law or wife 5 or 6 times a day just to complain about her life.

Everyone has been trying to convince her that she would be happier in a senior living home, she'd have people to interact with, play cards with, she could go on organized outings, etc. She refuses to even consider moving.

Can anyone offer their experience with a similar situation?



(I'd seen an ad on tv for a supposed 'advisor' to help seniors find senior living facilities. Luckily I did a little reading online and found a huge number of complaints indicating that this company is a blood sucker that bills families and facilities for a commission even if they performed no service.)
