The first time she had a kidney infection that led to a heart attack. The second time she had double pneumonia. This time she doesn’t seem to be sick but depressed. I used to know her doctor but that doctor left. I don’t know who to call.

Does she still have home nursing coming to see her? The place I worked for had specialized psychiatric nurses who worked with people with depression (or other mental illnesses) and they could help right there at home. I don't know if other companies do this or even if the one I worked for still does but it might be something to ask about. They also can check her out and see if there seems to be a physical cause.
