Unless she had dementia, I'd leave her alone.

Unless she has some type of mental impairment that keeps her from making her own decisions, her healthcare is up to her. She's only 66. She knows better than anyone what she is capable of and it's her choice.

Bring her a casserole. Ask her if she needs anything.

I agree with ba8alou. Stop by to see if she needs anything and bring her a home cooked meal.
