Should I have been getting paid for being my Mom's Caregiver for over a year now?

My Mom tells me to get a job and she supposedly has dementia. 3 Nurses at NE Georgia Medical Center over a year ago told me on the phone she has dementia and the NPC named Mildred from Prospero Health said that. She told me last February she shouldn't be left alone because she has dementia. So I feel insecure leaving my Mom alone. It's not a good situation and I called Legacy Link to arrange for a Home Nurse or something. I feel imprisoned. I have had no help since last April the last time Mildred from Prospero Health was here checking on my Mom.

Also, I've found Teepa Snow videos on YouTube to give me excellent information about dementia, how it affects our LOs and how to better engage people with dementia.
If you are not certain that your mother has been give a cognitive/memory test and did poorly, it would be important to know this for a fact. Are you her Medical PoA or Medical Representative? I'd ask her primary doctor if she's had the test and the outcome.
Is your mom a Medicaid recipient? If you are not her PoA and wish to be relieved of being her primary hands-on caregiver, I would contact the county to see if she can come under their guardianship. Then they would take care of all her needs and manage all her affairs.
