Difficult: There's as you might be aware a distinction between a patient needing that level of care (e.g. due to health needing help can't be provided at home by relatives or professional carers) vs a person's choice (can't override unless they are mentally incompetent). Suggest see your GP to discuss a referral for needs assessment. This will establish whether needs rest home care.
