Hello nightshift. The answer would be probably not, but it does depend on the terms of their occupation of the existing property. So, if the lease or agreement made reference to 'not being able to live independently', for example, that would be a clause which the landlord could use to force a move. However, I've never seen any such clause, and it is of course possible to support people in their own homes through the use of other agencies. In fact this is the way govt policy has moved - partly because of the disruption it causes to the individual but, cynically, because it is the cheaper option for local authorities. On the other hand, if you wanted to move a relative out of their home and into a residential or nursing home because you personally felt it was better for them, you would either have to persuade them to relinquish their tenancy, be granted a power of attorney (to act on their behalf - difficult without v good reason)or have them sectioned(!). Putting all that aside, I would recommend gentle persuasion - if you say something often enough, and it makes sense, people will generally accept it as an inevitability, especially if it is meant well.
