    Hi OKH!

    It sounds as though you care for this woman and want her to be safe. Please try to talk to her son about the concerns you have for her. If there is another family member you know, talk to them also. The more people in her family who are aware of the problems she is having the better. She may also qualify for some type of assistance and may be in need of specialized care.

    Please let us know if we can help you again. Thanks for reaching out and best wishes to you!

    Did you mean to say medicine instead of Madison. If you are a family member, why don't you call and talk to her doctor or even the nurse. They will be able to help you help her the most.

    Good luck.

    I'm not sure what your role in this is with her but it sounds like something you maybe shouldn't get involved in if it is family and NOT your family. For example, has she seen a doctor lately? She may need help. Talk to her son.

    Well, if she is a family member of yours maybe you could buy her a pet, get her a cellphone, get her a facebook, or maybe she could just move to a retirement home. If all fails, maybe you could contact her doctor.
