A little heads up do your research on NH/AL ASAP, reason the hospital may only give you a couple days before discharge to to find out where mom would go next
NoRecess, you will need to do what many of us here had to do. Wait. Wait until Mom has a serious fall or illness, and call 911. Mom goes to the hospital, then to rehab, and then you can get her into Assisted Living or a Nursing Home. You can then use a "theraputic fib" saying it is an extension of the rehab.
I had to do that with my Mom, who was very stubborn, yet she did go to every doctor in the phone book [or so it felt like it]. But would refuse caregivers, or her and my Dad [both in their 90's] moving to a senior community. Then she had a serious fall and needed to live in long-term-care.

Few if any elders ever agree to go into care. At some point we have to do what needs to be done.
Start looking at places in your area. Be prepared.
