What options are there in obtaining info for my Mom?

She lives with me will be 78 yrs old and has a recent decline in her health. What options are there for her to receive help in the community?

Your county or township should have something like The Council on Aging or similar that can come out, interview your mom, and give her a run-down on what help may be available either free of charge or at very reasonable cost.

in my area, mom qualified for Meals on Wheels at a suggested donation of $15 a week. (If I remember correctly.) she also had a lady who came every two weeks for two hours who did light house cleaning and laundry. Cost was $14 each time...$28 a month. Her town shoveled her snow for $20 a time...4 inches or more.

She may have qualified for more had she had less money in the bank.
