When I was 18 I worked at a big nursing home for almost a year. My heart goes out to you man. It's gotta be tough being the child of an Alzheimer's patient. Do you feel like you're on the outside of reality a bit? Like "who am I really if the ones I love forget me?"
Also, it's her caregivers job to make sure she eats. Eating is a struggle with some Alzheimer's patients. I had one who'd only let me feed her, and all she would eat is a bit of a chocolate bar then I'd walk her to the toilet, then I'd brush her hair and she'd look at me smiling. She had nobody and no will to live. All she wanted was chocolate and a little affection as she eased out. It seems like your mom's caregivers are easing her out I hope I'm wrong. If they're easing her out she'll be gone in the next 3 months max. They do this to patients who have little to no visitors over a long period of time.
