Caregiving Best Practices and Financial Support

Hi Everyone,

My mother is in the throws of mid-to-later stage dementia which hit hard and fast. She is completely unable to care for herself, feeding, incontinence, speech and reasoning all now heavily compromised. I will review responses and links provided here which look very helpful. I am looking for best practices, at-home assistance, and financial considerations for staying at home to care for her. Thank you.
