Your mother is still living in her own home.

She has not fallen.

She has not wandered away.

No one has called you from the emergency room.

She still talks with you. She still gets dressed. She still does some things around the house.

You look in the refrigerator to make sure there is food.

You check the stove.

You sort through the mail.
