Is this your mom? How are you affiliated to this woman? You mention in your profile that she has a son. Where is he?
Who has POA? Who is legally responsible for her? She is smart to realize that she shouldn’t be alone anymore if she has begun to fall often.
She either needs live in help, move into assisted living or a nursing home. This Covid situation is complicating everything at the moment.
I suppose for now you could see if a person could be hired temporarily to stay with her until a permanent decision can be made.
Best wishes to you and this independent, lively older woman.
