Pace Program Housing Decision

Summary

PACE should respect your decision if your home is unsafe for your mom. If she is of sound mind, she can choose where to live, but you can refuse her return. Consider discussing alternative living arrangements with PACE and consult Adult Protective Services for guidance.

I understand she can legally choose where she wants to live but then again it's MY house and it's not SAFE for her to be here and i am not going to be held accountable if she keeps getting hurt
I understand your concerns. It’s important to ensure your mom’s safety and well-being.
In Virginia, you have the right to refuse to have someone live in your home, even if it is your mother. PACE should not force this situation.
Would you like assistance in connecting with an elder care attorney to explore your options further?
I spoke with a elder care attorney but since she is in the sound of mind they can not help me and i do NOT want her back here.
It sounds like a tough situation. Since you’ve already spoken to an elder care attorney, you might want to consider contacting Adult Protective Services (APS) in Virginia. They can provide guidance on ensuring your mom's safety without her returning to your home.
Here's the contact information for APS in Virginia:

You're right; Adult Protective Services (APS) typically handles cases of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. However, they can also provide resources and guidance for vulnerable adults in challenging situations.
Would you like more information on alternative living arrangements for your mom?
I want to know will PACE still bring her back to my house if she wants to come back here even thought i told my mom and PACE NO.
Case Rating: *
PACE should respect your decision if you have clearly communicated that your home is not safe for your mom. They should not bring her back to your house against your will. Consider discussing this further with PACE to ensure your stance is understood.
