[quote=Anonymous]Honestly if your mom can afford it pay for the medication management and laundry.  It’s so easy to get burned out doing all the mundane things for them and your time is better spent on the things you can’t contract out.  If nothing else look into the Amazon Pillpack where they’ll sort the meds for you and they come prepackaged by morning and evening pills.

My moms assisted living place allows deliveries so I’ve started ordering her groceries through Walmart.  Walmart + offers free grocery delivery (it’s $12.99 a month or reimbursed through American Express Platinum card).  It’s a lifesaver because even though I see my mom twice a week at minimum she always “needs” something.  So I just have it delivered to her in the days I can’t make it.  The front desk will deliver to her room.

For your original question I’d recommend talking to your sibling who handles the money and seeing if you can get a stipend to cover your time and gas.  Get a credit card where you put all your moms actual expenses that gets paid directly from her account.  [/quote]
