Use FORCE to take her to a nursing home? 911? Rescue squad? She DOES not want to leave home, will fight and turn against someone that loves her and want the best for her. CANNOT get home help, LOVE HER, but no longer able to help her at home.???????????????

Without guardianship, no one can legally force her to do anything at all. Elder abuse laws protect seniors from abuse but also prevent loved ones from doing things the senior doesn’t want but are obviously in the senior’s best interest.
I had to lie to my dad to make him move out of my apartment and into a care facility. It was for his own good so I don’t feel at all bad about it.

There really is no good answer here. If the state is made guardian they will place her, but at that point you will have no say about where she is placed or what fiduciary manages her assets or how they are managed.
Are you alone in being responsible or are there other siblings nearby.
Wishing you luck, hoping you will update. Sometimes there are no answers until an elder does eventually and INEVITABLY come to grief from being alone and having an accident. We have even seen cases on Forum where a child tried with all her might to get help and her mom died in the home without help. It is very sad and tough. Again, I am so sorry.
