I Have Good News And Bad News

The bad news is that my mom has to go into a care home. The good news is that she will get better medical care there than just living with family members.

It was a very hard decision for my family to make. But she's been setting things on fire in the microwave, getting stuck in the bathtub while trying to call at neighbors from the window, and calling emergency services frequently even when there were other arrangements like local keyholder and nurses in the neighborhood. She is also a stroke survivor and in her 80's.

This sounds like the best thing for her and your family, no matter how difficult it is. As you said, she'll be getting better medical care and your family can rest easier knowing she and you are all safe.
