Nothing overwhelming. Not sure of the overall cleanliness though.
Outside of her door she had several items lined up. They looked like junk she might want to throw away. I will give that a sideways approach soon to see if they need to be disposed of. If they are, her dil doesn’t seem to be stepping up but who knows what the situation is.

I’m not going to get too involved. I hope I can find a group that can visit her and help. That way, she won’t have try to depend on me.
