It's a hard call here, unless tested that is, because she demonstrates an extreme capability of taking care of all of her financial responsibilities down to the penny. She's also well socialized and deeply rooted in her home area Church, and keeps active with senior group activities. Because many over the years know and love my mother, they completely ignore the apparent signs exhibited that I wrote about in my comments.
My problem is that she's already threatened to call the police if I come to her home to enforce that she go to any doctor appointment. Can you imagine how she's going to react to your suggestion of going to a Neurologist? I'm wondering if I may have to intervene through the court system or some 'aging foundation' in her area. I'm thinking that should I go to stay with her that with more prodding, I can get her to go without force.
