If your mom has always had
If your mom has always had concerns like this it could be paranoid personality disorder. If this problem has been getting worse over the years she could be developing paranoid schizophrenia, although schizophrenia usually develops in ones early 20s. It is probably more likely she is beginning to suffering from dementia that accompanies old age. There are several medications available to help with symptoms of dementia. So, you should take your mother to a doctor for an evaluation to see what the issue is, but regardless her symptoms sound like those that belong to disorders that are usually best treated via medication.
It is probably stressful to live with this, but you should try to keep in mind that it is the illness talking and not your mother.
Best of luck,
