I'm absolutely insane at this point. I want to move out but all area apartments are booked for at least two to three more months. I cannot afford a hotel for that long. I am cooking, cleaning, entertaining, and caring for both parents (dad=86, mom=78 w/ alzheimer's) SEVEN nights every week from 4pm until 6am the next morning. I am too fearful for their safety to leave them alone. How do I get any of them to help?

Who watches your parents between 6 am and 4pm? Is that hired people who are in, and does your POA sister take care of that?
The only suggestion I really have is that you continue to seek housing, even if that is a room rental (difficult in Covid-19 times, I know, but may be easier in future) and then rent a place. Send your family notification by certified letter giving them at least a month to get things in place. Then move on to a real life.
So now, all the rentals are on a waiting list.
Mom and dad can easily sleep until I get home. POA sis still has childhood resentment toward my father and could care less. But she Does love my mom, so most days she will stop by to get her up and leave w/ her and bring mom back home before I get home from work. But she will not help on the weekends.
I am SO ready for a real life. I'm suffocating and hurting, both physically and mentally. I don't think there's any hope of me forgiving them at this point. I just need to get out and save myself.
