If you are someone's next of kin, or spouse, than you can have them committed to a facility, if you can prove to the state judiciary that said person has an inherent inability to care for themselves. This can only be done if you are the next of kin, spouse, or sometimes a sibling can do this as well. This is also true of mental conditions as well. But the main factor is being able to prove that if no action is taken, then that person is liable to do harm to themselves or others. Hope this helps.

Has she had any physical therapy to help her learn how to tranfer herself? Unless she learns how to do this she will either have to have a live in sitter or go to a nursing home. Unless there is someone who can check in on her quite a few times a day.

Hospice care would not be precise for this human being assuming this human being does no longer have a medical diagnosis/condition that medical doctors have envisioned that this human being ought to have 6 months left to stay (as defined my many hospice establishments). Hospice care ought to also merely be for "convenience care" in preperation for lack of existence interior the close to destiny. This human being who lives on my own won't be able to be compelled into an assisted living living house, except they can't go with for themselves. Psychologically it truly is a huge determination for them. maximum do no longer favor to bypass into assisted living. 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're not ordinary to locate yet perchance there are some community components locally that ought to element you into that route. If that would not paintings then perchance talking to this human being (when you're on the fringe of this human being) and examine out to cope with your concerns. Assisted living may be the merely way contained in the destiny even with the actuality that. And judging with assistance from the shortcoming of mobility supplied contained in the question there'll be a intense threat for mattress sores for this human being.

I think a doctor can declare her incompetent and then she can be made to go, yes. The police can do a welfare check and make the determination and set the wheels in motion.

I would think you would enjoy your days more if you were in an assisted living home, why suffer if you can be somewhere where you can get help every day. Good luck to you.

Probably, if someone is physically unable to care for themselves, and cannot afford 24hour home health. Then I'd say yes, it happens all the time.

talk to her doctor about it. he can make the determination and she will have to go then. she would be better off in a nursing home anyway, most likely.

Go to court, get yourself appointed "guardian ad litem" and make the decision for her.
