Mental health care: Consider checking psychologists or psychiatrists in your area and inquiring if they are taking new patients. If yes, see if they are willing to do a teledmedicine/ virtual medicine consult. I think it would be a lot to expect to have a provider come to her home. Many providers would want to do at least initial visit in person. This is a tall order regardless. If actively suicidal call 911.
