You are the better judge of when this needs to happen.
She said she will not live with any of us because we'll yell at her. Not true. She said she is the mother and we cannot tell her what to do. She seems extremely paranoid and thinks we are all talking behind her back. She said if she cannot live alone she's going to a nursing home. Heck, at this point I am wondering if she does need 24 hour monitoring?
