Welcome to CareNotes. In this special section we will feature a reader's letter and provide an opportunity for an interactive exchange that will help find some answers and possible solutions to concerns.

Having my mom evaluated

I wanted to try and get her into a nursing home, or some kind of assisted living. We were told by doctors that she’s not to be by herself, or do her own meds by herself. I currently do her pills weekly and my daughter who she lives with, distributes them daily. My daughter is going to be moving out of the area and Mom doesn’t do well with steps. So she won’t be able to live with me. We want her to be safe and she falls a lot. She thinks we’re just dumping her in a home and that we don’t love her.
