Mom's savings are not going to last her care needs. She has a house that is being rented out and the rent currently goes into her account to help pay for her care. She is in assisted living, but may need memory care soon. I'm wondering about either selling her house to pay for memory care or moving her back into it with 24/7 home care, which she had before going to assisted living. I was her main care giver. That was difficult for me to manage because I was working full-time at my job. Now I work part-time and can maybe manage it better.
Call the renters and ask them if they are interested in purchasing the house. If they don't want to purchase it, let them know that you are considering selling the house. Ask a realtor who knows the neighborhood where your mom's house is to check out the house. Normally, it would be late to put it on the market now but the pandemic has changed things, and lots of families are looking to move out of cities. A good realtor will give you good advice.
If Mum’s level of care is increasing, please think long and hard about having her move back in with you. One person cannot provide 24/7 care.
If you sell Mum’s house how many more months of care could you pay for? Would she be eligible for Medicaid when her funds run out?
I have an ongoing Conversation with my mother when she claims she does not have enough money. I remind her that if she sold her home she would have enough cash to more than meet her needs to age 100, she is 86. But we are in Canada and a Subsidized nursing home would cost 70% of her income. A full cost one about $5000 per month.
Before moving your mother in with you, please go back and re-read your posts from when she DID live with you.
