I know that you know how important it is to take care of yourself before attempting to do anything for your mom. Others here have hinted at and I will recommend that you check out a rehab facility. There she will have 24 hr care until she is strong enough to live on her own. She will get physical and occupational therapy to help strenghten her and enable her to learn how to function within her limitations, if she has any, and be able to do her own care. I know these things because I am a supervisor in a rehab facility and we help people do this all the time. The patient often makes the family feel guilty for not taking care of them at home, but it ends up being the best for all concerned. Medicare and private insurance often pay for 3 weeks without deductibles. You may want to check this out, okay?
Hope this helps you some! Please take care of you during this stressful time!
