[quote=Anonymous]You need to get busy investigating her options, including her finances as well as her preferences about continuing to live alone. There are all kinds of short-term fixes you can find for temporary nursing care in the home, but if her mobility is permanently compromised, you need to start thinking hard about alternative arrangements. We had a similar experience when our parent flunked a competency test for driving. It took 6 months of patchwork arrangements (we found an agency that provided drivers and support thru the local council on the aging) but eventually we moved him to a continuing care retirement facility. He lives independently, but has a massive array of on-site services (including meals) and activities. His needs were mental, but there are plenty of people there who are very sharp but have physical limitations.[/quote]
