Subject: 83 y/o mother needs to stay at assisted living sisters say no.


South East South Dakota/winters Tucson, AZ
how do I convince sisters the safest place for our 83 year old mother is at assisted living , they both live 223 miles away and I am 7 miles. Mother had a health condition that put in her the hospital as a result of dehydration and small intestine blockage and had surgery. She has early stage Alzheimer's and a result is doctor said no more driving. She has lost 20 lbs in a year due to forgetting to eat of having a piece of bread and jam for a meal. Since in assisted living she had gained 8 lbs due to eating 3 good meals a day. She cannot keep her meds straight.

Long story but result is she is in assisted living now getting healthy, and my sisters want to take her home after 60 days, but my wife and I feel the best place for her is the assisted living . It is not a nursing home'. So how do I convince them mother is in a good safe place. Or do I use my power of attorney and just do it.
