Hi Webby,
First basic question - has mum been assessed by SS? If not, maybe you could at least get a visit from carers while you are at work. Or, have you tried your local branch of Age concern or Alzheimers Society? At the last Age Concern meeting I attended I met a lady who employs private sitters. Maybe they have some ideas but suspect it will cost unfortunately
