You have given your mother great care for many years. You have enabled her to be in a family home for many years more than she would have been able to without you.
Most people with dementia progress to a point where it is not possible to for one person to handle them in a private home. It sounds like your mother has reached that point.
It is OK to recognize that the time has come for a different level of care for Mom. You both will be better off with you visiting her in a nursing home.
