Mom needs to be in an appropriate care center. She is now beyond a status that can be cared for in a private home. I am so sorry. I can understand why you want to care for her personally, but that is just not feasible. If her needs are being met in a care center, then you can visit her as the loving daughter.
It may not be safe to navigate through the house when you must wake up in the night to use the bathroom because you are extremely groggy under Seroquel, and navigating on foot under sedation is definitely not safe. What I do before taking the pill at bedtime to help me sleep is have a power chair handy by the bed. That way, I don't risk being unsteady on my feet and falling due to sedation. Another alternative would be to keep a bedside toilet for the patient to use and everything they need such as moist wipes to clean their hands. Seroquel is a very strong sedative that should not be used at any other time but bedtime. If you read the bottle, you will see that it causes drowsiness. It says not to drive or operate dangerous machinery, but if using a power chair, dial the speed all the way down to a low setting to keep the patient safe while navigating to and from the bathroom while under sedation.
