Luann, You probably could make your mother move in with you, but since she is still doing well on her own, why don't you consider an assisted living situation where she can have some of her furniture and still maintain her independence, but also benefit from having someone around 24/7 if she were to need something. You would have a great peace with that and would not have to check on her everyday or everyother except  by phone to feel reassured. Your mother could also begin giving some of her possessions to family that she could not use and enjoy seeing others having some of her possessions. There is the expense to consider, but also your and your mother's peace of mind is worth a lot. Your mother might be apprehensive at first so if you could visit some possible locations and let her help make the decision, it would be best. Be considerate of her giving up her independence, but let her know how important it is to you to know she is safe and always has someone reliable around to help her. She will appreciatte the security even though it will be hard for her to take that step. I pray that God gives you and your mother the direction you need to make the right decision. Bless you, Janice
