Parent has had numerous close calls while living alone. Her luck will run out one day. We live in the state of Texas if that matters.

Where is this parent at present?
At home or was it in rehab?

Can I backtrack? Get the viewpoints..

Your view (& possibly other family members) is Assisted Living is required.

Maybe you see an unsafe living situation, many risks, falls or lack of hygiene?

Yet your parent doesn't agree.
Maybe says Oh I'll manage, yet cannot plan or problem solve? Pleasant but vague.

Or maybe hostile, refuses all help & tells you to butt out? A new (or long standing) stubborn streak.

Has anything been diagnosed that would effect thinking/cognition?

Are you her PoA? Does she have one? Does she have the funds to pay for it out of her own assets? Does she have a medical diagnosis of impairment?

I was POA and I couldn't get my aunt into one. Everyone told me to get her in court. I didn't have the money, nor the energy. She remains as she is.
