Sorry to hear about your situation. You didn't state how old your mother is. Is she ambulatory? How did you feel when she lived with you, other than what you have stated?
Our county has home health care, I think that's funded by medicaid. My aunt and grandmother both had sitters that came for a 6 to 8 hr. shift, during the day, and it was free to them.
It's one of the most heart breaking situation a loved one has. The parents sometimes will lay a guilt trip on you. I have dealt with this many times.I cared for my dad, we were very close, but he died in 2 months, just wished I could have done more.My grandmother lived for several years, and she stayed at home with the help of the sitter, and family members.We finally put her in a home, when she had to have round the clock care.
You have to consider what this would do to you, if you bring her home. You can wear yourself down, and still end up putting her in a home. You've got to think of your health.
Have you tried finding live in help? Most of the time you can offer a person room and board, and get that extra help you need, at a affordable cost.
Do you have other family members living with you?
When she lived with you, and then you put her in a home, did you have a sense of relief? Please think of all this, and please, please, don't feel quilty, and whatever you decide, please accept it,as the best for you.
Good Luck
