Anyone know where we can get financial support with my mother's bills and/or caregiving?

Anyone know where we can get financial support with my mother's bills and/or caregiving? Over the past 5 years we have called every government agency and also looked at private support without much help. We get $250 a month from Dept of Aging. My mother's deficit is about $1,000 a month. She has no savings, that is gone. No house, I purchased that and that $$ is gone, but naturally, she still lives there. Seems she make too much $$ (what a joke), about $30,000 a year.

It is great that you get any help. As you read on the boards here I think you will find most of us end up paying out of pocket. I certainly feel for you. I had to leave my career 10 years ago, for my mom to move in with me. Just found the group a week or so ago and there is lots of help to be found. Hang in there.

Wow be thankful you get anything. I have never heard of that before. What state are you in? My mom only makes $12,000 and we have been told that is too much for help.
