I think your best bet is trying for Medicaid homecare and see if Mom qualifies income wise. If she does, see how many hours you can get. If long enough, find a part-time job to start. I had one where I worked the busy times 10am to 2pm. My cousin worked in a drs office 3x a week fro 9 to 1. This will get you out. Put some money in your pocket and credit towards SS.
If you find you can find something to do from home, be sure its flexable. So you can work around Moms good and bad times. Do not use any of your money. 9x out of 10x this is a scam.
Is mom on Medicaid? What programs do they have in Kentucky that mom qualifies for? You need to be preparing for your own retirement and getting paid to work to save for your retirement. You should not be paying household expenses if you are her caregiver, you should be paid for that.
What kind of work do you want and qualified to do? Check with the Area Agency on Aging to see if Medicaid has a program to pay you for caring for mom. If there is, it will be a small amount. Also contact social services to see what programs you and mom would be eligible for to get assistance.
Your profile says mom is getting in later stages and you never know what kind of day you are going to have. How would working at home be feasible? Maybe you made an error on mom's age, how old are you? 20ish? You are at the age you should be planning and preparing for your life.
