Alzheimer's
My Mom was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She needs assisted living (currently 89 and alone) refuses live in care or to go. Does one of us daughters need to be appointed guardian to force a live in or her to a facility? We prefer the former- but she has locked out the day time care giver. She is in denial of her situation and at times beligerent (diagnosis confirmed) What can we do
