3. It may sound silly but
try Binging geriatric counseling in your home town. My aunt went through a similar ordeal and this really helped. The therapist specialized in older people and he helped make the transition from living on her own to living in an assisted living community (which I think it what you're looking for). My aunt was a very wonderful woman and she was very spirited. But we started getting worried when we discovered that she started hoarding things like used toilet paper...

Good luck. This situation is not easy but I think a counselor who specializes in geriatric therapy could really help. I'll keep your family in my thoughts and send some good vibes.
