This is really a terrible thing for her. An elder stranding like this often results in the victim ending up in a nursing home and/or dying. A deceased cousin of mine got stranded in her front yard after slipping and falling and had to spend about a moth in a nursing home recovering. A good friend of mine got stranded, ended up in a nursing home to recover, and died about a month after he was stranded. This kind of event is so common and life threatening that every senior who lives alone ought to have one of those medical alarm necklaces.
