Stop taking all her calls. This will drive you crazy if you let it go on, and let's face it, it's not normal to be on the phone with your mom about everything that happens all day long! Or at least it shouldn't be. The umbilical cord was cut many years ago. There's a reason for that.

You could talk to her PCP about meds to calm her. And, if you haven't already, start exploring care facilities where her needs can be met 24/7. She's only going to get worse and shouldn't be living alone now. You shouldn't take her into your home. Based on how it's going already, that would be a recipe for total disaster.

Good luck with doing what you have to do.

That is the nature of dementia. Hopefully your mother is not living alone, but with supervision at all times. Read up about dementia so you'll know what to expect. Understanding the Dementia Experience by Jennifer Ghent-Fuller is an excellent book and I highly recommend it.
