I am concerned.

That is a worry. When I was in a similar situation I found the challenge was to work out of it was par for the course as my Father aged or if it was the first signs of dementia. All I could really do was watch and wait and offer support when needed. It always amazes me how the years can take their toll on some and others stay bright as a button to the very end. Life is a lottery.

Thank you, I need to plan for a better situation with mom.
She lives alone and that will become an issue soon.

I see, that must be a constant worry for you. I hope you find a solution that keeps her safe and you both happy.
