    I'm with the others. If at all possible - have a 3rd person there - just in case. If not - can your Mom quickly alert a neighbor or someone close? If she has a cell phone or cordless phone, make sure that she has it with her at all times so she can call 911 if needed. Does she have a remote key fob for her car that has a panic button to push that will activate the horn until it's shut off? She could carry that with her and tell surrounding neighbors to listen for it if she was in trouble. I can't believe that the facility is actually letting him go on a home visit, seeing as that he is still so unstable. Praying for your Mom's safety.

    Oh no.

    That is a good idea to have a third person on hand. Otherwise, this should not happen.

    Prayers that somehow this can be worked out for the best for all concerned.

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't think it's a good idea at all. I hope that your mom will be safe and I also agree that a third party should be there.

    Oh boy. I agree with everyone who said this doesn't sound good and perhaps a third person can be present. I'll keep praying.
