My mother live in another state and can not longer care for herself. Can someone tell me how I get started moving her in with me?

EXPERT Carol Bradley Bursack, CDSGF Jan 2011
There isn't much detail offered in your question, but I can give you a couple of tips. Many places have elder moving services where people who understand the emotional part of making this kind of a move help do the sorting and packing and also offer a kind, almost counseling approach.

If you mean talking her into the move, then I'd suggest a third party such as a trusted friend or a spiritual leader who maybe can let her know that she needs to be where you can care for her. Her doctor may be of help here, too.

Good luck with this. It's a hard passage for many people.
