DW looks in on an elderly woman who is legally blind. She can see a little but is getting worse. DW calls her and talks and visits weekly. Helps her go to the store, etc.
The woman's vision is almost gone now and she needs more help. She live in a small home and has very limited income. If she has more than SS... it would not be much.
She wants to remain home and not move in with her children. On the positive side a couple of her children have offered. Believe it or not only one of her children (all live locally near her) visit regularly.
What kind of government and charitable services are typically available to a widowed elderly person that need help. Can she get things like meals on wheels and a housekeeper to come in weekly? Are those services available?
