Not necessarily a "nursing home," but she's obviously in need of an assisted living situation, unless you can afford a live-in caregiver. There are a lot of nice, comfortable options from residential home care to huge multi-service communities.
Sad to say, but she won't be improving as time goes by, and the transition is going to have to start.
If she falls and hurts herself, then the state might consider that she is being neglected or abused. Not a good situation. And most states can demand changes or file charges if they so wish.

It all depends on the nursing home. They have restrictions (i.e. specific age) to whom they take cared of. Also, does she or relative(s) have insurance or a way to pay it?? A nurse can also go to your home, but usually that is more expensive. Another possibility is that you could hire a person who you trust to help you. However, I think you should contact a social worker for more information about programs, as well as options available for you. This is a very difficult situation (trust me, I understand completely), but I am very sure he/she will be able to assist you. Best!

Hospice care does no longer be properly for this human being assuming this human being does no longer have a medical diagnosis/project that docs have predicted that this human being may have 6 months left to stay (as defined my many hospice establishments). Hospice care may also in common words be for "convenience care" in preperation for lack of existence interior the close to destiny. This human being who lives on my own can't be forced into an assisted dwelling domicile, except they could't settle on for themselves. Psychologically that is a huge determination for them. maximum do no longer pick to flow assisted dwelling. those who do have a feeling of their independence stripped from them. First, I recommend searching for a educated "stay-in caregiver" (intense priced). they are not person-friendly to locate yet perhaps there are some community factors locally that would element you into that route. If that would not artwork then perhaps talking to this human being (if you're on the point of this human being) and attempt to take care of your concerns. Assisted dwelling may be the in common words way interior the lengthy time period although. And judging through the lack of mobility provided interior the question there'll be a intense probability for mattress sores for this human being.

If no one is there to help her, call adult protective services. They will either help her move to a nursing home, or sometimes find live in care to be with her. Either way, they'll do it with tact and gentleness.

If she's on SSI (which she should be) she can get home care services.
