[quote=Anonymous]For most elderly (not all) at least that I know, they are uncomfortable with ride services. They don't mind taking one somewhere, but don't want to be brought home alone to a house where they live by themselves. The app can also be difficult. And if your mom lives alone, then she has to be able to get around. Are your siblings willing to drive her around? Probably not. Also, the longer she can live at home and be mostly self-sufficient the more likely she will be able to afford care closer to the end. I think you need to approach the issue holistically. Are people willing to drive her around? Do you understand her finances and what she can and cannot afford? Are they willing to accept that the minute they take her car away and leave her alone her home, they are hastening her demise. [/quote]
