Infirmed mom being discharged from hospital. i live far away. what can be done so she is not alone?

Options: Private duty nurses (expensive) or sitters. Friends or other family? Extended care facility? Does your mom have a cell phone/can she use a phone? To speak with you as needed. Does she have life-line (a "panic button" like device worn around the neck that she can press to call for help if she falls or can't talk). See: http://philips.Lifelinesystems.Com/content/default.
