    Not the other person you’re talking to, but let me take a stab.

    First off, I want to point out that you ask your question as if it’s difficult to answer, but it’s not. If the issue really is violence, the first thing that pops into my mind is bringing in specialists that can treat or rehabilitate her, to make her safer for herself and the other residents. Failing that, they could move her to a different facility better equipped to handle violent 93 year olds. If the issue is just that she’s refusing to pay but has the money, file a civil suit and have the rent taken out of her estate. If the issue is that she has no money, help her start a go fund me or whatever, so she can raise the money. Better yet, find ways to reduce or waive her rent so they she can continue to live there for free.

    At no point should they consider making a 93 year old with possible mental health issues fucking homeless, and it’s concerning that you’re implying that that’s the only option.

      But you don’t know what among these options have already been tried. You can’t just force someone to move to a different facility unless they have a guardian, and I can only assume this woman does not have a guardian and has capacity to make her own decisions. Again, we do not have the information necessary to draw a legitimate moral judgment for or against this facility

        This is irrelevant if we’re talking about a hypothetical. It’s also irrelevant if we aren’t, because my list is by no means exhaustive, just things I came up with off the top of my head.

        You can’t just force someone to move to a different facility unless they have a guardian

        Right, no one suggested that. When I suggested that she be moved to a facility better suited to her needs, I was implying that the proper avenues would be used to do that. I wasn’t suggesting anyone force anyone to do anything, and it’s concerning that that’s the conclusion you jumped to.

        Followed up immediately by

        Is just really funny, and I hope you’re able to see that.

        Also, we definitely do have enough information to make a legitimate moral judgement on a facility that evicted a 93 year old and had her arrested and forcibly removed from her home.
