Convince Grandparents To Move?
This Question From Maryland Nursing Schools | The Question Has 1 Answer
Alright. So here’s the dilemma. My maternal grandparents currently reside in a comfortable ranch in which they purchased 39 years ago for 10k. Since now, the quiet little town where they live has gone downhill. Like big-time. There was a recent open shootout down the street, three houses down the hill caught fire because a meth lab exploded, etc. Drug busts occur monthly, if not weekly. Oh, i forgot to mention the fact that they live up the hill from the projects (government housing). Nothing against project homes, (the ones they live by are very nice) but the people who live in them are pressed for money, and a crippled, elderly couple are the perfect target. My grandma is scheduling hip-replacement surgery soon, they both have health problems. i.e. cancer, diabetes, joint problems, and heart conditions. My mom (their daughter) is a nurse who can monitor them and make sure everything is fine. Not to mention- they can help with my younger brother and sister, instead of putting them in the extended day school program. Their house is about 45 minutes from my house. My grandparents 5 kids- One son lives in California, the other son lives in Baltimore, Maryland; one daughter lives about 10 minutes from them, however she lives in a small ranch with herself and her pets so it would be hard for my grandparents to live there; the other daughter lives in a quiet neighborhood about 25 minutes from there. and of course, my mom lives in the suburb 45 minutes from them. So I guess my question is: How can I get my stubborn 80-year-old grandparents to either move in with us, or move into a house in my suburb? We can convert our office for my grandfather’s bedroom, and the piano room into my grandma’s bedroom. (they don’t get along well) My grandma would appritiate living on the main level, there is the kitchen, dining room, tv room, and a bathroom on that level. The only thing- she would have to climb the stairs for the shower. I would be happy to spend my saved money on a chairlift for her. My pap’s sister has one. And we are remodeling my dad’s bathroom, so we could make it more accessible to them. My mom is all for it, but they won’t listen to her. They consider me, however. My pap quit smoking when I was born, and at age 8 I researched and found the safest car for them on vehix. And they bought it! So they do listen to me. Please help me! I know this was a long question to read, but it really is urgent! Their garage is unattatched to their house, they walk to it at all hours of the day. I am very worried for them! I don’t want them to get mugged or killed or burglarized! Please please help me!!!!! Thank you so much for reading my question. God bless you.
