Our mom wanted entertainment, but would not go to the senior center or use the senior van. We moved her to assisted living for a one month trial. She loved the company. By the way she is deaf in rt ear, blind in left eye and uses a walker. Socialization is key to their survival.

Home healthcare agencies offer companionship. I think you'd have to commit to a minimum of 2 hours but you can hire someone to come over and just sit and talk with your mom. Plus, this would give you a brief respite as well.
