I feel for you. My mother is 99 YO and will turn 100 in Aug. She has Alzheimer's and can't hear w/o hearing aids. She is in a nursing home and basically either a wheel chair or walker and on oxygen. They wanted to send her out to have her hearing checked a month ago, I said NFW. She can't carry on a conversation and doesn't remember anything. Just a very sad situation. Most unfortunate for my mother is that we pay for all her care and so particularly sad to see her not have much (if any) quality of life.

Sorry you and your mother have to be subjected to this. The system is obviously grossly lacking.
