I'm sorry you are dealing with all this.

Being a caregiver is not an easy job. There is no way fir a virtual session with your counselor? I'm upset she/ he couldn't accommodate your situation

We are here to support you

You sound like you really need some help with your mom. I use to be my mother’s caregiver for 11 years. I had no help from my siblings. When the Coronavirus first hit the news, I became so anxious and fearful I almost had a breakdown. I couldn’t take care of her or myself.

I discovered a program that allows caregivers a break or aids that will help with household tasks, errands, and much more. Not home health. Medicare won’t help either, some Medicare Advantage Plans offer limited assistance. Had to contact local Community Based Services and ask for a Medicaid waiver.

Here they have criteria that has to be met, such as a chronic illness The program here is for people 60 and over or have a disability. It is to keep people at risk of being placed in a facility to receive care in comfort of their own home.

Sorry for the novel just trying to help

Good luck !
