You stated the answer: in-home nutritional therapy by private nurses— if you are willing to go that route.

But deal with your expectations. It may just be time for her. I sang hymns to my mom.

I agree with Salvavida. Before considering assisted living or hospice I would ask her if she would be OK with a nurse coming into the home.

My mom is getting old and starting to lose some of her memory. There are certain things she would prefer family to do, and certain things she would prefer the family not be involved in. There are certain things like attaching an IV or performing routine checks like BP measurement that she might prefer be done by a nurse.

You might just need someone to come in two or three times a week for four hours a day. That would still be pricy, but not to the point of financial ruin.
