She has no family left. How can I get her to see or face reality and that she shouldn't move to Georgia alone. She recently sold her condo and is looking to buy a home to be happy in. If she does that she will have no money left. She is unable to care for herself 100%. Who should she talk to to help with decision making? Realistically?

It would be helpful to know how old she is, and if she has any family at all anywhere in the US. What kind of care are you providing? Does she have any chronic illnesses? How much decline does she have? Is she still driving? Etc. Thanks.

She is 79. There is no family. They have all passed. Sometimes cook, run errands, I do the grocery shoppi g, laundry, house cleaning, pay bills, take her to Dr appointments.

The other thing she has is cronic fatigue syndrom. She can't stand the wind. She'll get sick right away. She is Catholic and say she is in purgatory .... So God makes her sick if she eats anything with papper, onions, and garlic. She will not drink anything cold. She hasn't showered in 13 years. She just aponge bathes. Do to the last shower she became very ill. She wants to move to Georgia where there's 4 seasons. She sold her condo and has about $100 thousand. She plans on buying a house out there. And get a renter or 2 to help her with income. She get $1000 from ssi and $1,500 from her ex's retirement. But only gets that until he dies. By the time she pays for her car to be shipped to Georgia. Pay for her stuff in storage to be shipped, pay for someone to unload her furniture and set it up in her new home. Her flight there. And many more expenses. She will have nothing to servive on. She will expect her renters to care for her. I know she can't live 100% on her own. Who's going to maintain the house. I just can't get her to face reality and have her stay here weather I continue to care for her and I don't mind. Or she conciders a assisted living situation. She says she doesn't want to pay someone else mortgage. She wants her house. I just feel that she will be making a huge mistake if she does move. I already stopped one huge mistake that would have left her with $0 for selling her condo. She has fell 3 time. There's more details but this is the just of it. Thanks for your reply! Any advice will be greatful!
