It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

My mom is 83 years old and keeps 2 loaded hand guns in the house "for protection."How do I deal with this? How can I get them from her? She keeps them hidden away and seems paranoid in general, but she's always been this way. Help!
I voted for the innocent and the responsible to be armed with weapons I never voted for the insane or criminals be armed that's never an option I believe in responsibility my father always told me that if you respect a gun it will serve you well but if you play around with it it will end your life why do you think so many accidents happen with guns because of ill responsible owners if the owners are more responsible there would be less accidents what's the point in regulating guns in the first place if you regulate a gun what's stopping the black market for getting the guns back on the streets what's stopping them from going to a place where buying a gun is legal what's stopping them from buying a gun from a gangster everyone should have the right to defend themselves if they are responsible citizens who are not mentally impaired or who are criminals that's my stance on this entire issue with guns so I believe that the person still has their mental capabilities and yes they should still be allowed to keep their gun but once their mental capability start to slip take it away they should not be allowed to have a gun I don't care if they're really love to be independent if they're ability to use it has been compromised I don't want to be involved in a situation where a loved one is injured or myself or a innocent person is injured or even killed having any type of weapon or tool in the hands of a mentally impaired person is never going to end well

We were contacted by JoNel Aleccia specifically regarding this thread. Although it is an older thread, it has received recent attention due to current events. We vetted the request, and would like to support Ms. Aleccia's work toward furthering information on aging and end of life issues. In order to honor your anonymous use of the forum we have decided to proceed in this direction, allowing you to make the decision to make contact with her.

I am a reporter with Kaiser Health News, the health policy news service and am part of the team focused on issues surrounding aging and the end of life. I'm working on a story about gun access among people with dementia and I see an interesting thread regarding the issue on the AgingCare.com site. Is it possible to contact any of the users on the site directly? I'd like to ask if they'd be willing to discuss their experiences. Thanks, JoNel Aleccia JoNelA@kff.org
Josue... I totally agree. My honey has been through a lot (strokes, major heart issues) and recently I began to doubt the wisdom of allowing him to keep his gun (I have one and have been trained in the responsible use of it). My honey has been in rehab and I unloaded his gun and put it back in his drawer. After he threatened me on May 30th I purchased a gun vault and have the only keys and combination. Now both guns and all the ammo are in the gun vault to where he has, and will not have, access. Not taking any chances. I can out run a knife, stick or what ever but I cannot out run an bullet. I will be alert to any signs that he is moving toward violence and will immediately call 911 should he move that direction. Please understand this is a man that though we are not married, has treated me with respect and love. That is until last April.
