I might be wrong on this but I will post in case someone has seen this. I think I have read about motion sensors that can monitor a home and react to sudden motions that would indicate falling. You could get a call from the system and call your mother. She should keep her cell phone on her at all times. If no answer you can call the sheriffs office for a wellness check. Might want to have a couple of keys at neighbors. You could also use an inside camera system to look into the house, but you might not like that due to privacy. You can also install a lock that you could open over the internet.

I know where I live we could find a couple of neighbors that would agree to be called at any time and would check for problems. Some communities have volunteer groups to help seniors who need extra help. I would call the sheriff's office and the County government to see what suggestions they might have.
