Check the Eldercare Locater, respite care is usually one of the more affordable things, because there are public-sector and philanthropic programs that are income-based. It would be great for your parents to have a GCM for their contingency planning, and I'd eat my Peggy Carter hat if their GCM can't sort out the paperwork so your mother won't have to do it.
You're definitely going to have to do a lot of estate administration to spare your mother the burden, but if you can accept the estate being smaller, much of the work can be shifted to the estate's attorney (realistically, the estate attorney's paralegal). There's an old saying: "Fast, good, cheap, pick any two," and since you have far too much work and are emotionally involved, then throwing money at problems that can be solved that way may be your best choice.
