You didn't specify what her health issues are, or her age. But if APS has been called in you might want to check on her more often. Possibly if she feels a burden to you she will try to do things on her own. Is there any possibilty of getting her into an assisted living facility? Also have her meds, if she is on any, been evaluated lately? Wishing you the best solution for your mom..
