Izulde, yeah my dad has been really stubborn about taking his medication. He says it makes him drowsy and he sleeps a lot.. he doesn't like it. One day he was working on his car and my mom, not knowing where he was starting looking for him and found him... asleep under the car.
So yeah, I'm anxious to get on that list. What sucks is that there's a pretty big language barrier with my mom not speaking english very well so it's hard for her to communicate with the social worker, nurses, doctors, etc. My poor mom, she felt so bad last night about the restraining order she felt like dropping charges. She needs to take care of herself too so I suggested finding help too. She thinks she's losing it.

The hospital has an ethical (and in some states legal) responsibility to provide a translator for all sessions/information exchanges with your mother. Hopefully, you can help get them to comply with this responsibility.
