“Should we have a health aid for my mom?”
My mom doesn't want to go to a nursing home and she doesn't want to leave her house at all. She's 80 years and is at high risk of falling. I would much rather her live with me but I can't force her. Should we consider getting her a home health aid?

These are very common concerns that we hear from our patients and families. If you worried about her safety while her being alone in the house, it may be a reasonable option to have someone stay with her. For further details, you may want to reach out to her primary care to obtain what additional resources are available where she lives.
