AIBU to be stressed about elderly parent

Hi. Long story short. My elderly mother well early 70s not very elderly. Sold her house 8years ago to live with me. She lives in a little pre-fab in my garden. I generally spend a lot of time with her she needs help with say doing groceries or deep cleaning but still drives etc. I hated the thought of my mum living alone and so did she so this suited us all very well. However, 6weeks ago she told very ill and as a result of being bedbound for 6weeks has mobility issues.

She is now finished all treatment in the hospital and now has to complete rehab in a specialist unit or at home.

Aibu to feel stressed at the thought of her coming home? She is immobile although the PTs think with work she will be able to make a full recovery.

My siblings all want her to come home. One commented that they wouldn't want to run to the rehab centre for another 6 weeks.

Aibu to feel like this as I knew a day like this would come, options were never really discussed. I have a young family and no job so I think it's expected that I just do everything.

Advice please.
