Same scenario with my mother when she moved in with my younger sister in Rochester, NY
As has been repeatedly stated, Medicare will take care of the medical aspect but you are responsible for everything else.
In our situation, we hired a private care giver who took care of helping her bathing her, dressing her , doing her laundry and cleaning, cooking, etc .
My sister was working full time and was not able to provide this level of care during the week .
So yes, the “extras” you’re looking for will be an out of pocket expense you or your mother.
