Have the doctor tell her .

Otherwise you tell her that her physical condition makes it necessary to live fulltime where there are nurse’s .

There is more than HOW.

This is WHO. Agree with Lea. Let staff. And it won't be a long discussion trying to persuade I would bet... More like.. You will be transfered to rehab/respite soon.

What if they afraid to say something and you are the only one that is not. They don't want her mad at them

At some point someone has to step up and be the adult. Speak the truth that mom is NOT able to live alone and NOBODY is checking in on her or caring for her daily. Nobody wants her mad, would they prefer her dead?

If you siblings tell the hospital mom is an UNSAFE DISCHARGE, or the rehab facility if they want to send her there to recover, then it'll be the doctors place to have the conversation with mom about leaving her home, not you.

Thanks that's a good ideal! Going to Florida tomorrow and will mention it to the doctor and social worker
