Some great suggestions here already. I would only add that it would be well worth contacting your local Age UK, and certainly your local carers organisation can provide all sorts of information, support and advice - you need support too! You can find support in your area, and masses of other information, here -
www.carersuk.org/
www.ageuk.org.uk/
Also many surgeries will have a social prescriber who can connect your mum with resources in your community - there are some neighbourhood groups who provide lovely social activities, dementia cafes, etc, which might take some of the pressure off you during the week?
Local organisations vary in what they offer, some Age UK teams will provide support, including an initial assessment, and can refer on to adult social care if appropriate - a “professional” referral can be helpful in highlighting the eligible needs more directly. I would say that social services are hugely overwhelmed at the moment and priority is having to be given to crisis cases. Having said that, people are ending up in crisis because there hasn’t been enough support. Don’t even get me started on the political background for this, having been a social worker for older people in 2010 when the cuts began..
