I placed a deposit at a memory care facility yesterday but the admissions director is out sick this week and the executive director didn’t know if the rooms they have available are actually available. I am meeting with an attorney to get emergency guardianship because my mother’s resistance to go. She is not eating and is wandering the neighborhood. Do you have any suggestions for a temporary placement?

Baker Act in Florida, it's called by other names in other states. Involuntary hospitalization for a few days out of concern for someone who has a medical problem and at risk but can't or won't seek help.

In home care through an agency may be your only option. You are already moving very fast. Did this come on suddenly? Was there a sudden and radical change that made this rush so necessary? I only ask because if this is a sudden change in mentation you may be dealing with a UTI or other physical problem.
Last resort would be hospitalization with some sort of made up thing, through an ER with admission and call in the social worker right away. This would give you a strong diagnosis and write up, without which you may not receive guardianship.
So sorry you are going through all this. Hope others have better suggestions than my own.
