[quote=Anonymous]Look into independent living for seniors near your sister. That way your mom isn’t socially isolated and is close enough to your sister that she can visit more frequently and help her run errands. Eventually your mom needs to shift doctors to closer to your sister. My mom lived an hour away and when I needed to start going with her to appointments it wasn’t sustainable because one hour away really means a two hour round trip plus time at the doctors then potentially pharmacist. I couldn’t keep taking 4 hours off of work compared to an hour if I booked the earliest or latest appointment for my mom if the doctor was by where I lived and where I moved my mom. My mom didn’t want to change doctors but over two years has shifted all her factors, dentist, optometrist. The other good thing about her independent/assisted living complex is that there is geriatric doctor who makes house calls. That doctor visits my mom every other month and will go if she is sick.
