You didn't let me know where you live but if you want a professional to help you need to go to NASMM.com. Then you would go to the state you See also:
Should I take my 80-something parents with me to check out assisted living facilities for them or go alone?
live in and find a professional closest to where you live. Also do you have other siblings? Have you tried tough love? Calling 3 times a day may be too much. She probably just assumes you will take care of everything. Have you told her you can't be there all the time? When a child sees a real need to move a parent, then sometimes you have to make the decision for them, especially if they exhibit signs of dementia. Does she roam? Is she combative? Does she eat? Sometimes it could be better to wait and not press her if she isn't doing those things or if she is eating. I paid a neighbor a small amount of money to go over to my mother's house to check on her every day. Since my mother knew her she didn't think the person was checking on her. It worked pretty well. If you can become her conservartor it might make it easier for you. Eventually my mother just couldn't stay alone. I told her I couldn't be there all the time. We finally were able to move her.
