One last thing, the guy who decides that one day he/she can not go home is the doctor at the hospital where she is admitted usually after a fall.
I begged my doc to give mom one more shot in her home after a bad fall in her basememt. The doc finally consented to one more try for mom. We had the phone system, home nurses stop by for baths ect. But she fell two months later and broke her hip. She did get two more months on her own tho which is what she desperately wanted at the time.
The doctor then of course decided along with the hospital's social workers that she should go to assisted living.
She never went home again. It was up to me to clean out and sell the house. And a million other things.
