101 Years. Hot Flashes With Sickness In Stomach. Suggested Stress Due To Moving Out, Difficulty Trasitioning. Thoughts?

My mother has been have hot flashes, where she feels sick to her stomach. She is 101 yrs old and was living alone and taking care of all her own needs until about 5 months ago. We have taken her to her regular doctor and he says that he thinks she is stressed about moving from her home of 60 yrs and is having trouble transitioning. Should we take her to a geriatric doctor....what she is experiencing is scaring her?...
