I do have a question? She lives 25 miles away.... She is elderly, Wouldn't it be easier to engage a caregiving business that would just take her shopping or change light bulbs.... PLUS most towns have (check senior citizens) brochure of help lines.... For just a little gas money will drive people miles to a Dr. Appt. grocery store lots of things out there. Although those people naturally ae not her son... When I lived in Carson City in a apt. a lady friend told me about this help... She even had her own car, cleaned her home the works... But had someone drive her to Reno.... (((hugs))) no fun growning old (er).... lol :)
