[quote=Anonymous]OP, most of your post is about your relationship with your mother.  You give very little information about your mother's physical and mental state.  Dementia is serious, but it's also progressive.  Once it's progressed far enough, her abusive and narcissistic qualities might disappear completely.  You'll be left with an elderly person, your mother, with incredibly great daily needs.

Many people with dementia start out with in home care (either a family member or hired), and progress to a dementia facility, or at least the memory care floor of assisted living home.  The question for you and sisters is probably not if, but when.  Only you and your sisters know your budget, time and energy levels.

If you want to be involved but not interact with your mother (part of how you respond in this situation is about your relationship with your sisters, no?), you could offer to help your sisters with paperwork and administrative tasks.  Between in home care billing, Medicare, insurance, respite care, residential care, medications and other medical appointments, there is a mountain of it.[/quote]
