By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

After years on this forum, there is almost Always a choice, I believe there are Government Senior (Aging) Care Agencies every County here in the US, where Seniors can be evacuated for the multitude of services available to fit their needs. Recommendations and assistance for everything from housing, transportation, medical, food delivery (meals on wheels), medical transport and equipment, social activities, Senior Centers, Adult Day Care, financial assistance, Social Workers, and aid in Maximizing their Medicare and Insurance coverage to their advantage, help with obtaining Veterans Benefits, silver sneakers, gym memberships, home Nursing Visits, and especially help in fascilitating and recommending Assisted Living Homes, Nursing Homes, and Memory Care Facilities.
Mainly what I wanted to say is that when Senior Care becomes too much for family members to bear, due to uncooperative parents, severe illness or even your own inability to care for them due to frailties or Disabilities, there are other choices and help out there, IF Senior Caregiving isn't ones true passion/desire or career choice, especially when one must give up thing like their home state, their home, families and careers, which many amongst us have done, but most end up regretting it, and so arranging and accepting outside help is the other option. That whole "FAMILY OBLIGATION" thing, the "PROMISE" we'd Never put "her/him in a Nursing Home, is just not always possible, and Completely Unfair to put upon families!
I hope your Daughter is getting everything she needs in this arrangement, it sounds like she may be under 30, and is probably/may be entering those "highest earning potential" years in life, getting her career established and perhaps wanting to start a family of her own. Having to look out for Grannie may be a huge obligation for her, I'm just looking out for her in this situation.
Your Mom's a pill, as others have said, wait for the next fall or illness to guide you in the right direction for her care needs as the arise, and they will. I wish you luck, Caregiving is hard work!
Sounds like a good solution if GC is taken care of appropriately as well.
Even if they love their Grandma to bits, any young person needs money to live. Does this job have check-ins to ensure it's still working?
I think I would want to add that in to avoid any CG burnout.
