Hi Scott

Looking back taking away driving will be the easy part and only the start of a lot of other hard descisions.

My top 3 tips from my experience (with father in law)

Please make sure you have arranged for the legal authority to act on her behalf and can produce evidence of this when dealing with the world at large
(cache of authorised/witnesses or notarised copies for their file very handy or the original for them to take a copy [while you're standing there] also good)

Nutrition (or lack of) makes an extrodinary difference to cognitive function in the aged, if she starts to loose weight she can spiral downward quickly.
Two days after a 'normal' weekend visit popped in to find FIL crouched in a room in distress - took him to respite where he was taken off all his medication and simply fed correctly and his health, conversation and behaviour recovered astonishingly.

Start looking into accomodation - this bites
It is the acknowledgement you don't want to make - it will take a long time to get right so starting early and getting informed is imperative.

Good luck
