[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If her mind is fine, I'm not sure why you don't just leave her alone for a few hours, if that's what she wants. The risk is hers to take. If she falls, she falls. She may have to wait until you get home, or she may even really hurt herself. But it's not okay for you to make her live a life in a way she doesn't want to just because you have so much anxiety. Did you force her to move in with you, too? Convince her it wasn't safe to live on her own?[/quote]

This.  Her mind sounds fine. Clip a cell phone on her.  Go out to dinner for a couple of hours. You need to have a life.
If she falls she can call you or she can call 911 for a lift assist. Make sure she specifies "lift assist." The ambulance team
will check her over and help her up.

She may just sit on the couch for several hour when you are gone.

Go out to dinner. Go to get your hair done.  Live your life.

I've had Mom with caregivers in her house for 20 years.  Believe me, you need to take care of yourself.[/quote]
