My mother is 82, has dementia, and lives with me. I have had her in my home about 1 1/2 yrs and cannot do it any longer. I have found a wonderful assisted living for her. It is perfect for her as they do meds, monitor, three meals a day, etc. The problem is when I inform her she has to go there (because she cannot live on her own in any way shape or form) she will throw a huge fit, as she does when she doesn't like what you say, and say no. Help. Any ideas? She also has OCD so she will obsess over this until I get her in it, so i have to move fast. Thanks for any suggestions or insight.

Otherwise, you may have to just bite the bullet and say it will be done. I'd ask the assisted living social worker what she would suggest. Whatever you do, she will complain and fight it, so be prepared and don't show any weak spots.
Good luck,
Carol
