Rebellious grandmother?
So my mom has a problem with her mom. Gma had surgery and is getting out of the hospital. She needs someone to stay with her for 4 straight days. My grandma says no to this. My mom wants to follow doctor orders and stay with her. My other aunts and uncles cannot do it so my mom is the only option. If she doesnt stay with her the doctor said she will need to be put in a nursing home. My gma wants to lie and stay by herself. What should she do? Let her risk it or put her in a home. Oh ya staying with her infuriates my moms mom. So what do you think?

Well your Grandma has the right to refuse. Has it been fully explained to your grandma that if your mother is not with her for those 4 days she will have to be put into a nursing home during this time so someone can look after her? If she has no form of dementia, or anything else, that may affect her judgement then as far as I'm aware she has the right to refuse medical assistance and can't be forced into a home or to have anyone stay with her while she's recovering. Perhaps her and your mother could reach a compromise - if she's close enough maybe she'd let your mother visit her for a couple of hours each day.

Honestly tell her flat out that the doctors need to be listened to. They went to school for years and have years of experience and know much better than she does how best to handle this. She can either cooperate or she can live in a home.
