I have a family member who lives across the country. He is bipolar and on disability due to his mental health. He’s in his late sixties and has had a lot of medical problems lately. He falls down a lot, in part because he abuses his medication. He should be in assisted living but he doesn’t want that. His mental illness makes it more difficult for family to step in because the state he lives in has added protections for the mentally ill to prevent family from taking advantage of them. Even if we had the money to pay for his care, we couldn’t force him to move. We have just had to accept that we have no control and can only wish him well.
