[quote=Anonymous]Are there any subtle ways you can implement a few things to make life easier? For example, "for your birthday this year, we hired a 1x house cleaner to clean the house. Don't worry, the cleaning lady is only doing the bathroom, kitchen, vaccuming ,and mopping. Then she's gone." - type thing. SHe might be too proud to ask for help or for assistance, but if it's given to her without a lot fuss she might be more willing to give it a try. Meals On Wheels has been discontinued in many areas (I'm not sure where you're posting from), but a lot of counties have tweaked it so food can be available. Look into that. Give her a phone that lights up/big blinking light when it rings. There is something similar for doorbells too. Otherwise just let her be. She doesn't know any better (technology for example) and the lack of cleanliness and the like doesn't bother her (enough) . [/quote]
