My Sister

My older sister just got diagnosed with beginnings of Alzheimer’s. She lives alone and drives. I can see her getting worse. I’ve brought up assisted living. She refuses. I don’t know how to convince her it is what she needs. Are there any brochures or info on how to approach her about this? Thanks.
