I work at another city where far from hometown. my mum live alone in my hometown , so I can't take care of her but give her money. in recent years , sometimes she got weak and have to go to hospital , she take care of her by herself. sometimes I feel helpless for her and I don't feel good . when I know her get weak , I always worried about her because I would like she can live long . how do you take care of your mum ? does she live with you ? how often you visit your mum ?

I'm sorry you aren't able to take care of your mom when she needs help.
My mom passed away years and years ago.

I see you have struggle while you have to work far from hometown but you want to take care of your mom. You have a noble task to do when you got to work to have send money to your mom so she will be healthy.
In some case someone usually ask for your relation to keep an eye for your mother condition, either to accompany her to hospital or buy a medicine for your mom. At least your mom can keep resting and will be better in no time.
for other solution that many people do is hire a nurse to check on your mother. it will costly and personally you may have a self worries because your mother in some stranger (good) hands.
I hope your mother will always be healthy.

You can hire maids to look for her for you to not worry much... I am lucky that some of my siblings are there to look at my parents because I am away too.

In some cities there are facilities where they visit seniors and help them. I lost my mother years ago but she was well taken care of as her son's family lived with her
