Great idea. A geriatric specialist may have some ideas that don't involve a medication. They have the knack of talking to a person that your Mom may not feel comfortable discussing with her children. She's still your Mom and she will always want to protect and not be a burden.

As my mother told me before she became ill, whatever I would do would be the right thing because it would be done with her in mind and always with love.
