OP - if you can afford $3,00 a month towards services for your aunt, I would enlist an eldercare agency in her area and get an assessment done with your aunt's input of what she needs to get done.  Then see what services can be done through them such as personal care assistance, house-keeping, laundry, food shopping, errands and possibly some meal prep and set it up.  I would also sign her up for Meals on Wheels or some such program that would have a regular person dropping by to get to know her and be a "second pair of eyes" as to how she was doing.  One question also is that if your aunt is on medications which are perhaps fogging her memory, then perhaps with an agency try to get some way to management these betters, though it would be expensive.  The idea of setting up service with a reputable handyman on home maintenance, yard work and/or any snow removal sounds wise.  Get prices for all services and see what you can get "cousin" to contribute.  Again, it would be my suggestion to "divide up" responsibilities between the two of you.  Or simply give what you can to an agency to do certain key services and then do not think about it.
