* Can Mom live by herself safely? If not, what if she refuses to leave her home?

* How do I deal with her obstinate refusal to take a bath or go to the doctor?
* Should I correct her when she insists her dead sister is still alive?
* How do I handle her repetitive questions and accusations without losing my patience (or mind!)
* How do I keep her entertained?
* How do I handle her sun-downing, burst of anger, or inappropriate public comments?
* How do I keep her from wandering off and getting lost? How do I keep her safe?
