I thought that the research provided was minimal and likely not worth the money - they didn't tell me much I didn't know already. What I actually need is someone to take a look at our situation, and tell me what my mom needs objectively now and in the future.

I'm having trouble understanding what is best for my mom given her needs and her savings. She's sorta functional and sorta not, depends on the day and my outlook and biases. I KNOW she doesn't want a memory care facility and I THINK maybe it's not quite the right fit YET, but I'm not sure what array of services could bridge the gap. We manage a lot for her now, but as I'm a parent of very young children and work full time, I have very limited bandwidth.

It sounds like she needs a caretaker or a memory care facility. You should go look at some and call the ombudsan for your area.

What do you manage for her right now? Is it mostly medical, financial or logistical? Or social even?
If the latter two, I’d just try to hire someone responsible and competent enough to manage that. Hire and manage cleaners, grocery shopping, socializing, taking her to the dr, things like that.
