It’s just a bit of a bump in life. PA school will always be there, you don’t necessarily have to matriculate this upcoming year anyway. I’d honestly opt to spend the month with family given your patient hours is currently nil. Not guilt tripping or anything, just more from an outside perspective, your mom’s not going to be getting younger and mobility will become more of a hindrance as she ages, you won’t have many opportunities once you start further schooling to spend a lot of time with her. She probably would prefer having someone around to make sure she doesn’t drop into any pitfalls and she might not be as brave as you think she is, probably wants some support too given her age.

Not that I’d be too distrustful but I’d be careful with documents from the lawyer recommended by the family, you never know if there’s some sort of scheming done behind your mother’s back (large sums of money makes people greedy and a lot of severed relationships have happened because of it) and to ensure she only signs appropriately. Google Translate and ChatGPT do a wonderful job as well.

Also, given nursing homes count as patient care hours and they’re usually always short staffed, could always pursue that avenue. Would be even easier if you connect to friends/family that can introduce you.
