Ugh! Moved Mom to Maryland from Florida after my father died. My father was her rock and only friend. She said she hated Florida, too many memories, etc. well, now after we get all settled, she decides she wants to move back to Florida. We came here because MD is her home and family and old friends are here. She won't connect with old friends. I have offered to take her to the local senior center and she refuses to go. She has had social anxiety in past and my father would just stay home with her and miss important events and milestones. I have convinced her to stay through the holidays so she can be evaluated by Hopkins neurologist. She won't let up on the subject! I told her I would not go to Floruda with her! She said she wants to go back and live alone & take care of herself and her dog. She has mobility problems, can't manage her bills or medication. Her belief that she can live independently is making her unreasonable and I am stressed out and at my wits end. Can a case manager help, Ian unbiased assessment. Anyone dealt with this? I think she needs to go to assisted living, Soiry for being long winded :(
Oh, any chance you can connect with her old friends and have them call her, or have one stop by? Sometimes it takes a little nudge.
