re: My Mom has been getting worse with her dementia

So a couple of things:
Has she received an official Alzheimer's diagnosis from a doctor at this point? If she has (and I highly recommend getting her to one if she hasn't) and she's on Medicaid she should qualify for in-home care.
If I remember correctly, you're in Kentucky. Here are some links to possibly help you get local resources to help out with your caregiving. Jennifer Craig is the Dementia Services Coordinator and if you shoot her an email at Jennifer.craig@ky.gov she also may be able to direct you to services/groups in your area.

Correct. She has to be diagnosed with dementia in order for her to be put in a nursing home or a dementia program. So get her to a doctor asap. At least thats how it is in Louisiana. We just put father in law in nursing home and he has to sell all his assets to pay for nursing home and then after that Medicaid kicks in
