Find Care & Housing
You should not quit your job. There is no help financially for Caregivers. Using Moms money you could hire an aide to care for her while you work. She may qualify for Medicaid in home. But you should never jeopardize your future to care for someone.

Call your County Office of aging. See if there are any programs where you can get paid to care for Mom. Medicaid in some States will pay a child to care for a parent.

There's no adequate help to replace a normal salary for you if you quit to give care. We over and over again see people attempting to get compensated for this care. So far, and financial remuneration is so inadequate as to be a joke.
I also wonder if you know what you are looking at with 24/7 care. Things won't get better; they will get worse. I think it is a great mistake to quit to do this care, no matter how loving you are. It will have huge repercussions on your own life ongoing, and in your own future elder years.
