she weighs about 70 pounds now. i told her they will investigate us to no end and arrest us for elderly abuse thinking we let her sit there like this. she is 76 yo. without a physcian to get her hospice we dont know what to do. is there anyway to get hospice for her? please? i know she is in so much pain. my mom has never let anyone help her thru anything. she has been a caretaker her entire life. she is the best mom you could ever ask for. she has been there for everybody and now we cant be there for her cuz she will not go to the doctor so we can get her hospice and some pain medicine. can you recommend what to do if the elderly parent has not been to a doctor and will not go to a doctor. is there any way to get her help. and dont say just take her to doctor. you have to understand she will not go. refuses. i dont even think she will let a doctor look at her at home. we just want a way to get her hospice and pain medicine to make her comfortable because we know she is going anytime
I agree with everyone here. Call EMS and do it now! Anyone who takes a look at her will believe she's being abused and neglected. I certainly would. Don't leave the decision of going to a doctor up to her because she won't do it. Good luck, and keep us posted.
