[quote=Anonymous]1) go tour CCRC in your area. She could possibly be okay in IL with some support. The IL places we toured are built with very thick walls. No sound bled into the other apartments.

2) if you are worried about her safety now, call Adult Protective Services in her area. They will send someone out to assess her safety. Also, get in touch with the Department of Aging in her area. They can tell you what resources are available to her.

3) take a week off now and go out. Start to prepare the house for moving/selling. Whether she stays there until she dies or moved closer to you, you’ll have to do this. So start to declutter. Get a home inspection to see what needs to be done to the house prior to selling. (It was a huge surprise to my Dad when he had to put on a new roof before selling). 
Check here for people in your area that can help with downsizing, even if she doesn’t move. If they have the certification, they understand how to work with seniors.

4) Plan for what you Will do if she has a health emergency and can no longer live by herself.

Good luck! Dealing with parents who don’t realize their new limits is very frustrating.
