You should probably try contacting your mother's doctor and explain the situation. Treating the patient only is half their job, making sure that proper care is given (as well as the health of the caregiver) is the other half. Maybe you can get some external aided help.

Check into home health agencies and talking to the local doctor's offices is a good idea too. My grandmother died of cancer several years ago and the family did most of the caregiving but we did find a local lady to help us care for her a few days a week.

Check with some of the visiting nurses agencies. Sometimes they will also have respite services available which may help. You may also be able to find a local person who does this for a living and they could help you out a bit. Check with local doctors offices, sometimes they keep a listing of reliable assistants.

Have you ever thought of respite care services, like visiting angels? They can come in to your home or you could take your mother to a site for the day while you relax, go shopping or do whatever you like while your mother is in their care.

I've taken care of my mother for 2 years now. She has Parkinson's Disease and is so pitiful. I moved her into my home to take care of her but I have no one to help me out. It's all my responsibility. Is there anyone I can get to help out, like an agency or something like that?
