How to Get Cash if you Are Housebound.

My friend's cousin B has become increasingly frail and was struggling to continue at home. She lives 400 miles away.

Friend went up before Christmas and there are now carers in place, a cleaner and a gardener and B is very happy with the arrangement.

The only problem now is how to get cash. Friend has told her not to trust anyone with her card or pin number but how else is she to get cash? She is too frail to leave her home at the moment and that's unlikely to change. She has neighbours and friends who will get milk and other things from the local shop for her and my friend does a supermarket shop online for her once a month. She also gets those ready meals delivered. Mostly she can pay by cheque but sometime cash is essential.

Any ideas about what she could do?

She's 74 or 75. I forget. Blushstill has her faculties but physically very frail following treatment for cancer.
