Grandmother almost set the house on fire
So, my grandmother was trying to "light up the oven." She used a ton of paper plates to try and light the oven by placing them over the stove burners and it got out of hand... Thank goodness my mom, her main caregiver, was home at the time. She called the fire department, and they unhooked the gas line to the stove.
There's no reason for my grandmother to even be trying to cook, my mom gets food delivered, and my mom cooks too. Anyway, I told my mother if this wasn't the sign to get an aide or find a care home for her, idk what else could possibly convince her. She almost burned down the house! What if she hadn't been there?
Idk what else to say to her. She is retired, has all the time in the world to find a caretaker or a care home, but just won't bite the bullet. I know it's not an easy decision, it's the last thing anyone wants to do, but it would be best for both of them, mentally and physically.
