re: My Mom has been getting worse with her dementia

Does your mom receive a social security payment each month? If yes, it can be used to offset the cost of a nursing home. Depending on the facility chosen, additional costs to you or other family members may be minimal.

My mom was becoming forgetful in 2020 & 2021, but after having a heart attack in May '21, full blown dementia took over. She died in August of that year, but it was a LONG 3 months watching the rapid decline of a woman who had previously been so alert and aware.

You have my sympathies and prayers, as I don't know how you've managed it over several years. It has to be torturous.

Good luck, and may God bless you and everyone who loves and cares about your mom.
