Maven, I just stumbled over this thread.
I'm sorry about the hacker and your bank account. Sounds like you are making good progress on getting it straightened out.
Your story about your Mom sounds soooo familiar. You described the last year and a half of my Mom's life. The mental confusion could be signs of dementia, but it could also be related to her medical problems. One of Mom's docs explained to me that in the elderly one medical problem can cause a domino effect with other medical/mental problems. I could tell that Mom was starting to get physically illo when she would start to slip mentally. As your Mom recovers physically her mental abilities might improve.
As for your Mom not being able to live on her own. What about independent living or an assisted living facility? Both are inbetween steps between living alone and being in a nursing home. In both cases your Mom could live alone, or with a roommate if she wants, but would have support from staff in the facility.
I will keep both of you in my thoughts.
