Elder Care Legal Options

Summary

In Virginia, if your mother is legally competent, she cannot be forced into assisted living against her will. You are not obligated to provide housing if its unsafe. Consider options like guardianship, contacting Adult Protective Services for evaluation, or seeking guidance from Virginia Legal Aid. Legal Aid offers free services based on income eligibility. They can assist with guardianship, housing, and elder law issues. Contact them to understand your rights and explore available resources.
