Family Member Caregiver Looking To End Care

Card image cap

Hi,

I have been caregiving for my mother for 7 years. Over the years she has significantly declined and needing additional care. Thus, having to downsize my business and now closing the business altogether due to needing 24 hour care. I do work from home and often interrupted due to nurses in and out of the home, transportation pickup and drop offs. I have had to take time off for doc visits etc. I’m barely making ends meet and everywhere I turn to for help; there are no options.

She has no family or anyone willing to take her in. I have mentioned group home and she has refused. My monthly maintenance of my home is $4300 p/m and that would be without extra money for car payment, insurance, and others. She has firmly said that she will not contribute more than $1200 p/m. When I pull money from her account, I specifically tell her what each payment is for and she doesn’t process what I am telling her and calls me a thief. I have had many conversations about her verbal and physical abuse towards my child and how I cannot trust to leave her home alone. I have spoken with her doctors and they all agree that we cannot live together. I have 3 reports that I submitted to Adult Protective Services in 2 years with no help. I gave her a timeline to figure out her living situation to no avail. Now she has a report about me being abusive and stealing from her, which is not the truth. I need help and do not know how to have her leave my home.
