This area is a very complex one and it is best to get advice from an expert. CAB usually have someone who knows the law in this area or a local law centre if you have one

A lot depends on where you live but in California there are 'Master Trust Funds' which are useful for assets over $30,000; less than that the administrative costs are harder to justify.
On another note, there's what's referred to as IHSS (In-Home Support Services) which either pay for domestic and/or personal care giving or assist in finding people to employ as in-home care givers.
Mom might be eligible for SSI or SSDI benefits - see your local Social Services office.

I think the social worker funded for this, you shouldn't pay if you get Disability Living Allowance. If you look up social worker for the disabled in the yellow pages I'm sure they are willin to give advice if you are not sure on what advice you should do.

Not sure whats available, but your local Welfare Rights would know. Get their phone no at your local Council Offices.
