No, they cannot, with the exception of the information contained in the expanded answer below.
Answer
If a person is incapable of caring for themselves and their property there is indeed a legal process by which they can be placed in a long term care facility even if they do not want to go. Many elders who are no longer capable of living independently do not want to be admitted to a residential care facility but they must be admitted for their own safety if the circumstances are serious enough. That process depends on a doctor's certification that the person is no longer capable of caring for themselves or independent living. A guardian would be appointed. Therefore, the answer to your question is yes, depending on the circumstances.
