I am moving mom into my home. She has (FTD) mild-moderate. I will need some help 3 days a week. Someone compassionate & has dealt with the symptoms of FTD. Mom can be a bit un-trusting. Please direct me. The move will take place in about 4 weeks. I’m trying to get everything lined up. Thank you,

You will have to check with your local caregiver agencies or Care.com as we are a forum of caregivers from all over the US and elsewhere.
But because we are all caregivers or used to be a caregiver for our loved ones, I know the majority of us would try and talk you out of letting your mom with dementia move into your home as you know things with her will only get worse, and it will be you that will suffer in the long run.
It may be helpful to you to read some of the many horror stories on this forum from families that like you thought they were doing the right thing by allowing their loved one with dementia to move in with them, and then all hell broke lose, and they had a hard time getting them out.
Perhaps you may want to instead look into the memory care facilities in your area that your mom can move into so you can just be her loving child and advocate and not her burned out caregiver.
And of course if money is an issue you'll have to apply for Medicaid for your mom.
