It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Fully investigate medically. Has she had an MRI to rule out TIA? Then proceed with an evaluation for dementia or Alzheimers, does she have this as a diagnosis yet? Is there a pre-existing mental health diagnosis? Does she have MS or another neurological diagnosis? Does she drink alcohol or take drugs?
What else do the doctors say?
How old is she?
Caregivers on here will know what to do if this is a symptom of dementia.
Tending to believe first the patient, here's this: I fell and was injured. The PCP (doctor at an HMO) x-rayed my foot, not broken. A year later, another fall, x-rayed my ankle, broken ankle. PLUS an older broken ankle, other side. Clearly undiagnosed from the first fall.
Hubs hurt his hand. Delayed seeking the advice of an orthopedic M.D., due to the PCP x-raying, then , re-xraying hand, refusing to refer him to orthopedic doctor. When he went to the orthopedic doctor, he said that we waited too long and other options of treatment were no longer available. Again, an HMO standard of care issue, an HMO doctor failing to diagnose properly.
That is why, investigate every medical reason, start with a neurologist and MRI. Often, believe it or not, one can also obtain a suspicion of a stroke by a good exam from your medical M.D. ophthalmologist. yay. Barring other causes, your Mother could think she is having strokes due to vision problems, including sudden loss of vision. Which is, btw, another symptom of stroke.
So, yes, get help, and try to continue the conversation here, let us know how she is.

And even if MRIs don't indicate a stroke, your mother feels something, and that should be investigated.
What were her symptoms when she felt she had the strokes?
Then proceed with an evaluation for dementia or Alzheimers, does she have this as a diagnosis yet? Is there a pre-existing mental health diagnosis? Does she have MS or another neurological diagnosis? Does she drink alcohol or take drugs?
What else do the doctors say?
How old is she?

Can you provide more information?
