My grandmother was in a similar state. She is 94, lived alone in NJ (my parents are in SC) and shook horribly when she ate, etc. After she took a bad fall my parents moved her into an assisted living facility 2 miles from there home. It has been a complete turn around. She looks great, doesn't shake anymore, blood pressure has improved. The reason? She wasn't eating well. Just tea and toast or soup. Now she is getting proper nutrition, daily interaction/stimulation with other people, goes to various classes and get togethers the center has (singing, exercise, crafts, bingo) and has made a complete turn around. If your mother is not eating well and is lacking in human interaction, it may be contributing to her poor health and general well being.
