You might try telling your mom about (an imaginary) woman who is so sweet and blah, blah, and how she has no friends or family and so on. Tell her you and some of your friends are helping her and would she (your mom) like to be a part of this kind gesture and be a friend to this nice woman. Just say that she (your mom) would be the perfect companion for this woman and vice versa. How much fun having a girlfriend again to do things with could be. Make it a positive not like a health care/age issue. If she agrees, hire someone, tell them the plan and wholla, problem solved...Deep down inside she would probably relish having a companion around her. Bless your heart, you are such a good daughter.
