I find it crazy that because of the insurance you cannot get her the care she needs - also how expensive are funerals in the USA - I mean they are expensive here ( 3,000- 4,000 ) but you have said its 9,000 !!!!!
I am so very sorry as looking after your mum , with your own health issues is a heavy burden to carry.

My 94 year old mom was bed bound after hip surgery March 4, 2024. She only lasted about three and a half months. Died June 21, 2024. She and I shared our apartment.

But thankfully Medicare pays 100% for intermittent physical and occupational therapy at home. Also, there is no charge by Medicare if and when hospice is finally needed.

I don't know if physical therapy at home would help your mom. I think my mom declined badly fast because of having had the hip surgery.
She is on hospice
