She lived in a retirement complex. The local police were very accommodating about letting me park for extended periods on the street nearby so I shuttled back and forth between the street and the nearest Elks RV parking taking care of Mom and my pets who couldn't be in her apartment. Eventually I posted a notice on the complex's bulletin boards for a part-time caregiver. I'd already researched getting one thru agencies and that just wasn't in the budget. Because it's a large complex, I got several responses and found a delightful gal who came in twice a week for 4 hours to bath Mom and stay with her so I could have a break. It really made life much easier and more pleasant for both of us (Mom was very mentally alert and upset about "interfering" in my life). This was a great low-cost ($100/wk) alternative for me. If the idea appeals to you, find a senior complex nearby or any type of care center including the local hospital and ask if you can post a request for part-time help.
