The thing you wear around your neck and either press a button or it notes a fall, and calls to see if you need help?

Maybe it's time for her to not live alone any more. Maybe?

Now is the time every family faces -- transition as parents age. You are a good person to worry. I hope you can make some progress toward resolution of the situation.
