As*isted Living, they were scheduled for visits with the dentist. I knew it had been at least two years since their last exam and with a dentist visiting the facility, it was simple enough to have the staff take them down when it was time for their appointment. However, my parent’s both refused to see the dentist. We tried three different times and each time one or both of them dug in their heels and declared that they no longer needed to get their teeth cleaned.

As I’m wondering to my husband if my client can follow the steps, and ensure it gets shipped back in a timely manner — he is wondering what the family would do if they found out mom has colon cancer. He felt that he would probably be skipping his testing when he is 85 and
