Is there a way to get monetary assistance for taking care of my elderly mother?

I'm still able to work but have to stay home and take care of my mother. We live on her SSI, which isn't much. With a little monetary help staying with my mom wouldn't be a problem.

Yes, there is. Check with your social services, they should be able to help you.
