And ask this way:

tell me 3 things that you need this week.

If you say "how can I help?" it is too easy to be brushed off or too hard for someone to be specific at the time.

And find out what her schedule is daily, as there will be clues there about errands, etc.

Maybe she needs someone to pick up scripts/groceries etc or help with transport to dr appts or grocery shopping or home chores
and does not know how to find those services.
Maybe a pet is too much right now?

( Mr. Dixie is having mobility problems and I have a long list of things I need help with , which is what prompted my comments)
