In home health care varies a lot regionally so you will want to check with her physician and local aging centers for recommendations. My mom has pretty severe dementia, failing vision, and lived 40 miles away. Staying in her home was not really an option so we went with assisted living 1 mi from our house. Total cost right now is about $50k/yr which she can cover for a long time. Renting out her house covers about 1/2 the cost and because my dad was a vet there are care benefits available. She is reasonably happy, safe, and we spend time with her often. I expect she has 1-2 years left.

Caring for our aging parents is a difficult chapter in life.
