What is the optimal solution for helping a mother who lives alone and needs care and home services, given the unavailability of housekeepers and the rotation of sisters and wives in serving her, which causes them hardship and conflicts with their family responsibilities?

The proposed solutions to help the mother are to persuade her to move in with one of her sons, provided that the wife agrees if she moves in with the son, or that the sister's husband agrees if she moves in with her. If this is not possible, then one should search for someone in need of work to serve her. If such a person is not found in the same country, efforts should be made to bring her from another country, keeping in mind that caring for the mother is an obligation upon her children, male and female.
