Does Mom still have friends and extended family (not your sisters) up north? Perhaps she'd be more comfortable in that area since it would be familiar and other folks (besides the sisters) could visit her.
A family conference might be your best option now. Guilt won't get you very far. IF your mom is willing to go to assisted living then it's her part of the decision. Growing old is never easy (it's something most of us will "get" to experience, God willing) so good planning is something everyone should consider and do. Look at all the "what if's". What if your mom was staying with you and something happened to you and your spouse??? THAN the what if would have happened and something quickly would need to be put in place along with taking care of your affairs, whatever they might be.
