We also have help. Fortunately my parents saved and invested, so we are able to keep her in her home very near us (1/8 mile). 5 days per week 8 hrs a day I have a 24 year old unmarried niece who takes care of her. She makes more from us than she could anywhere else, and she loves her grandma.
We also have overnight help, which is very reasonable as all they have to do is sit with her and be there in case she needs anything.
Finally, two days a week we have the same woman from the Visiting Nurses Association. THAT is pricey but worth it.
Good luck. In our case, it is harder on the family than on my mother. SHE is comfortable and happy now, even though she is a mere shell of her former self (Chem degree as a woman in 1942!)
