Agree. There are many resources out there. My father was unable to care for himself in his last years and refused to go to a nursing home or allow nurses in to care for him. I reported him to Adult Protective Services grin and they sent out an agent who told my dad that they would declare him incompetent [in court] if he wouldn't allow the nurses to come in. He would then be forced into a nursing home. He sure didn't like that!! Nooo

Of course, being my clever father, he cooked my goose by smoking marijuana while on oxygen which sent the nurses running!
