By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. 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.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

She can call her Area Agency on Aging. Look that number up for her. They can connect her to Meals on Wheels. This gives her another point of contact several times a week.
You can call the police non urgent number and ask them to do a wellness check.
You can text her every morning with a kind word to let her know you are marking down the days with her. Big celebration call on Nov 1!
Wishing you the best with your own health issues. Let us know how Ms Oakland is doing and we can all hold a positive thought for her recovery.
You may discover she just wanted to vent and a call a little latter may find her in a better mood.
Im not sure if anyone here is from Kansas.
You can tell her to call the county for the aging in her area, they may have some ideas.
Does she belong to a church?
Face book community page?
I'm sure a broken foot would be hard for many, and having to stay off it is hard.
I would just try to be positive to her, and remind her it could be so much worse, and be there for her. Just knowing you care will help.
Hopefully others here have more ideas.
Best of luck,
What is she saying to you that leads you to think this?
Have you recommended your friend call EMS for transport to the hospital ER to tell them she cannot manage at home? They will assist her in some rehab placement while she heals and get therapy for her if this is needed.
You are miles away and cannot manage this. Your friend has access to 911 and should use it. You cannot help her in this, nor can we. Her medical care team CAN. Or friends, neighbors, and loved ones in her own area.
Were I you I would call 988 and discuss with with the national suicide hotline. You must be very worried and feel helpless. I am so sorry.
You can also call your friends Area Agency on Aging and Senior Services to see help is available for your friend.
Best wishes with your upcoming back surgery.
