My mother died of Alzheimer's and my Dad was having dementia when he passed. It sucks to watch them go like that. You have my sympathies.

May I ask how old you are, and how is your health?

It sucks Dude.It’s really tough to see. My mom has really slipped in the last six months. She remembers stuff from the past in detail, but often doesn’t know where she is right now or why.
You probably have to apply for Guardianship if you haven’t already. To me it sounds like she’s become mentally incompetent for medical reasons. Bravo to you for taking care of her, but you must consider that you’re potentially liable to account for all funds expended from her accounts.One of the biggest things is finding everything to get in control of her financial matters. I have power of attorney financial and medical, trust, etc. I am finding all the places to send it to. I have forwarded her mail and have control of her bank accounts to keep everything paid etc. social security has a call scheduled to work on that and I needed a letter from Dr stating her condition.
I am keeping her phone active for two factor authentication for online access
2 pensions, 2 insurance companies and no telling what else. I am getting there slowly. It’s harder since she is unable to get on phone with places to do something as simple as address change.

Ive been my Mother’s court appointed Guardian of Person and Estate for 10 years. I’m not suggesting that you’re not completely trustworthy, however admitting that you keep your Mom’s phone active, so that YOU can access her accounts will draw suspicion by anyone (a sibling, for example) who could think that Elder Abuse is occurring.
Consider protecting yourself.
Yes, you have to keep everything and every receipt available for scrutiny. Especially when Medicare is involved. The last 5 years
