Tending a sick parent? This law can help

Dear Evil HR Lady,

My mom is very sick. She is 88 and due to her condition is unable to care for herself. My siblings and I are going to each care for her in 90-day shifts. I approached my employer about [changing my schedule] under the Family and Medical Leave Act while I care for Mama. I would be in on time to work each day, but would need an extended lunch to be able to feed her lunch and attend to any hygiene needs. In addition, I might need to take her to doctor’s appointments.

I am currently a salaried employee. My employer suggested I transition to an hourly employee instead of using the FMLA. This would enable me to keep my accrued vacation time, but my accrual rate will be decreased going forward and I’ll pay more for health insurance. What should I do?
