Hello woojr,
We had an Aunt who passed recently at the age of 98: She also drove daily for errands up until the day she passed away in her chair peacefully while watching a program. Our cousin purchased a fall alert system which can be worn about the neck or on the wrist of the individual. Perhaps you could talked with her providers and gather information regarding one of these devices.
Be careful regarding over paying for a device; there are many different makes and models. Talk it over with your Mom and get her reaction to the idea. It may be just what she needs.

@jofree Thanks so much for your experiences. My mother doesn't accept change very well. We looked at fall alerts and after checking her cell phone, she already pays for it in her plan. Unfortunately she only charges her phone when she wants to take it with her shopping or have it if she loses her electrical service. I think we'll talk about soon though since this fall is recent and she's a little sore.
