You may not need to go that far. Call the county elder abuse/elder neglect hotline. They should send out a nurse or social worker to assess her and see what services they can offer her. They work with adults who are at risk for "self neglect" in addition to adults who are at risk for abuse by others.
Here's a list of phone numbers:
