I’m so sorry. We had this issue with my dad.
If your mom has Medicare, she may qualify for benefits. My dad did.
Call your local social services office. They should have a social worker who can help you navigate. If you don’t want to do that, call her primary care doctor. They may be able to refer you for services. She may also qualify for long term hospice. It’s a bit scary to think of it that way. But it may be another benefit you can access.
Y’all may qualify for respite care once or twice a week just to get a break.
I’m wishing the best for you and your family.
