I’m in 95th year with a history of falls my family brought me to their home so I do not drive. I’m driven.
I do not cook or do laundry because of dizziness and weakness.
I am on 4th pacemaker, heart failure and many other things
I worked until age 77 or 78 trying to be independent but there is a time where you need some care. At 88 yrs I moved with family.
Now your mother has fallen many times from what you wrote.
She should not drive or live alone. If not with you there are lovely Assisted Living centers that are
Wonderful and welcoming.
In fact, I am shopping assisted living centers around me and will be moving in the next 90 days. Why,
I presently have gone up and down 20 steps to my bedroom lovely home but no bathroom or bedroom on 1st floor and I am becoming more frail as I age.
Good luck to you and your mothers visit to move with you or other care.

@verdine I'm so happy to hear from you. Your approach is so well thought out and sensible. Maybe we can trade? Seriously, you've helped a lot, thank you.
