Sam, although there's a lot of support in this forum there aren't any silver bullets because every situation, however similar, is as unique as the individual. Who knows? The answers you're seeking might be staring you in the face right now, so use the links. Complement the information with the suggestions we're all ready, willing, and able to give you, and then decide the best course of action. Good luck.
Her dr. is your best start. Does she have dementia, if so-tell her dr. that she can't live alone any longer, he can start the ball rolling. My Mom went from the hospital to a NH because she no longer was safe at home. Good luck.
You want to put her in a nursing home or a home, home? If you go through northern bridges they im sure could find a lovng home for her to live at and there she would get close attention.
