I just had to read your previous two entries which I had somehow missed.

I'm sorry to hear your mum is having a difficult time, and that you had to give up your Oakland apartment.

I think you are doing the right thing, and hope it all works out.

As my grandmother got older she couldn't read any more, more to do with vision than concentration, and my aunt would read to her before bed. I wonder if having someone there reading to her would help your mum focus long even to follow the story. You mentioned a volunteer who takes her to the library, is that still a thing now that you've both moved? Maybe reading to her could be part of their visits.
