I wonder if she will have to join one of those white supremacist gangs for protection? Get gang tattoos? Maybe she can rise through the ranks and become the Granny Shot Caller?
I know from personal experience that appeals to logic and common sense don’t work.
However, as I stated earlier, it is not known whether dementia was a factor in this case.
She wasn’t being delusional or paranoid however. She thought she was being put in an assisted living facility because she was being put in assisted living facility.
If given the choice between prison and a nursing home, I'd probably choose prison. Nursing homes are filled with the stench of poop from all the adult diapers and there are often puddles of urine in the hallways, and even in the dining room. There are germs everywhere and communicable diseases. At least in prison you wouldn't deal with these things quite that much.
This is not true at all. I worked in dozens of skilled nursing facilities I have never smelled poop except when someone is being changed in that moment, and I’ve never seen puddles of urine on the floor. Of course there are times when someone has an accident, but they clean it up right away. Of course there are some that are much worse than others and yes I have been in homes that smell. It’s hardly worth then prison however and I’m sure prisons do not smell good either. I’d much rather sleep in a hospital bed then a cot, nor would I want to use the toilet in an open space with no privacy.
In any case, I highly doubt she’s going to go to prison, she will probably go to a nursing home with a psych lockdown unit. She probably wouldn’t even be able to stand up for my low prison toilet on the floor. And yes, it probably will not be a pleasant place. Anyone who seen Orange is the New Black however knows that prison is much much worse.

i don't have time read whole thread and comments.... I can see her reasoning in a way. Maybe its her fears about living in a facility. Still no reason to kill anyone. Most do adult care facilities treat their patients well. Then of course there's a few here and there that are no good. I do hear stories of once a loved once is placed in a facility, their loved ones rarely ever visits or communicates. That's incredibly sad also.
I think it's not reasonable to assume she's not someone affected by dementia. What person in their right mind would shoot someone, and then just sit in a recliner until someone comes to arrest them, and then admit they killed that person - unless they wanted to be in prison.
So, if she didn't want to be in assisted living, and logically, prison, why would she put herself in that position, with no alibi whatsoever, and admit she did it?
That's not sane thinking or behavior.
