Ok, I know a lot of people can relate to this. You have a relative, probably a Boomer, and they need to get extra care. But they are fighting back.

Golden Girls is famous for its line “Shady Pines, Ma!” I love that show! Here are more clips:

In my situation, it’s time for one of my elderly in-law family members to go to the nursing home but they won’t.

This person has been falling, complaining about being tired, and doesn’t want to drive by themselves anymore. They complain constantly about their health, that they have no energy. Well, they are almost 80, that makes sense actually.

They have claimed they would gladly go but neither of their children is making them. I feel they are one fall away from a broken hip.

So what are the red flags?
