Hi!! My heart goes out to you! I’ve been dealing with my mothers late stage dementia for the last several months on top of that my 18yr old son is severely autistic and I cannot give her the home-care she needs (she’s a wanderer) AND watch him at the same time. After jumping through hoops for past 3 months I finally got her placed in a nursing home.
I would love to help you (if I can). What state are you in?
if your mom doesn’t make enough money have you tried you applying for “Medicaid” in the state you’re in? They call it something different depending on the state. Also, try reaching out to your states local Ombudsman for help & resources. That’s who I learned about my mothers rights and where I can get help from.
The people from my local Ombudsman were extremely helpful!
I hope this was helpful.

Ask the dr office for senior services number in your area. you need to know the resources in the area for help.
Do you have to care for her because financially she can not go some place with medical care? Again the senior services should be able to talk you through available options.
Is there a church with visiting volunteers? Can they bring a meal?
Also you need some resources and books on dementia to calm fears about what to expect or what is a warning sign.
If you feel your dr is not supportive to your concerns, are their other dr ( geriatric specialty?)
