My 95 yr old mum still lives alone and independently. I live 2+ hours away and visit as often as I can, but local friends have told me they suspect she is not coping as well as she would have me believe.
What I'm looking for is some kind of private agency which could provide someone to literally pop in on her every day or 2, check she's eating, taking meds, have a chat, do some basic chores, and generally check in with her. To be clear, she is still able to get up, showered and dressed and get to the toilet. However, her short term memory is very bad these days - over the phone it's so hard to really know what's going on.
If anyone can recommend a particular agency I'd be so grateful, as it's difficult to know where to start. The other issue will be selling the whole idea to her - I'm expecting lots of resistance!
Thank you all very much.
