getting family to agree on needs for grandmother

Posted by Carol Anderson at June 07. 2008
Bob is concerned about his grandmother's welfare. He was raised by her, and now that she is unable to care for herself, he wants to see her taken care of. However, he is frustrated by the lack of cooperation amount family members to agree on how that should happen. From his comments, his grandmother is bedridden and seems that she may be at risk for more serious problems due to lack of proper care. He needs assistance in breaking through the indecisiveness of the family and in learning about the resources available.
