No Boomer but Still Caregiver to Mother

I am not a baby boomer, but I am caring for an elderly parent. My mom had us in her forties, so I am facing things that none of my friends are, which makes it hard.

I am located in a city and she is on a farm and I may have to move there with my job. I wish she had planned a little better so I wouldn't have renovated my house as much as I did last year. I want to take care of her, but she has to work with me. My brothers live further away in another province, so they call, but can't really help.

It is hard as she is physically slowing down, but is mentally fit. She is not ready for a nursing home yet, but could use some help.
