What about moving your mother in with you? Or look into getting some outside help to stay with your mom?
Taking care of your mother to the point of risking your own health and well-being won't be good for either of you. I hope you find an arrangement that works for both of you.

She was in a nursing home for 2 months last year(broken ribs),I dont know what they were giving her but she was really out of her head.We brought her home & she was ok.I live within walking distance of her house so thats no problem.mom wants me to do it all.I did look into getting help but she didnt want me to get someone, so I didnt.I have taken the burdens off mom for years,that is why she has lived 93 years! its ok,.....I am the oldest of 9 kids & we did have a hard life growing up,but thats another story.
No she couldn't afford an assisted living arrangement.Her house is very small & mine is to,she is just not happy unless she is home.its the house she grew up in &also the home she raised her family in.
