Does anyone know where I can get financial help to assist in her care while I take a break?

Your profile says:

"I am caring for my mother, living at home with anxiety, arthritis, depression, hearing loss, incontinence, mobility problems, osteoporosis, urinary tract infection, and vision problems."

I would contact your local area's Agency on Aging to find resources, like respite care, for your mom. Or, call in social services for her county to see if she qualifies for any in-home help. None of it will be 100% help coverage or financial aid. She will need to be able to kick in something. Maybe it's time to consult with a Medicaid Planner, for her near future needs.

If she is eligible for Hospice Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance will cover Respite. It is almost 1 week each year.
Hospice also has Volunteers that will come and sit with a patient for up to 4 hours while you get away. (they can not do any "hands on" care)
both of these options are free.
Your local Senior Center may have more information and the local Area Agency on Aging has information and resources as well.
Many areas have Volunteer Networks that you could check and see what they can offer.

Need more info on her. So is she on hospice or eligible for it?

Call your Area Agency on Aging, they are a wealth of knowledge.
