Hi Sheena,Perhaps she could stay with a son, or daughter, or grandchild in their home--they are the people that should be helping her.Who wouldn't want their grandma to stay with them (fresh baked cookies--built in babysitter--interesting conversation and scrapbooks of pictures).Plus she would have $475 a month extra now to (buy presents for the grand kids, eat more nutritiously, go play bingo with at the old folks center).She should be phoning them right now to get herself set up for a BETTER life than living alone.Good Luck!
