You can arrange respite. A facility appropriate for her, Assisted Living or Memory Care. They can do 1 week, 2 or more....
If mom is on Hospice Medicare covers respite for hospice patients.
If mom is not on Hospice and you think she would qualify contact Hospice and get her evaluated. You will get supplies, equipment as well as support from a CNA several times a week, a nurse at least once a week and yearly respite all covered by Medicare, or Medicaid as well as. Most insurances

My husband caregiver gave me information about respite care. On Monday, I am going to tour 2 different facilities with plans to take 8 days vacation in August. After I tour the facilities, the director and a nurse will come to the house and evaluate him. I hope they feel like they can handle him for the 8 days. I understand you need "reserve " a bed well in advance of the time you need it. It will cost between $150-200 a day fo my husband, but it is worth it for my sanity. My hope is that it will be the facility he ends up in when the time comes

Of course, you need a break!

There are some assisted living facilities that have respite care.

I suppose that you could hire rotating caregivers to help. Depending on her health needs, an experienced nurse may be best.

Some nursing students do sitting on the side.

Make sure that you get references.

Personally, I would prefer having a 24/7 professional staff in a facility.

Gather ‘round all your angels 😇. Don’t be dismayed! There is someone out there who can and will be your temporary caregiver. Tell everyone you know, that’s what I mean by gather ‘round your angels.

We need angels in our lives, don’t we?

I love the thought of angels surrounding us. It’s very comforting.
