I would be looking to arrange every dependant person who is currently under your roof into immediate (or as soon as) respite residential accomodation.
Then breathe. Take 2 weeks to just breathe.
Then start the process of getting each dependant person sorted - starting with a current medical assessment, cognitive assessment if required & the necessary legal paperwork, POAs (or even Guardianship).
My aim would be to find the right care accommodation for each.
Living independently again would be the top aim... if that was a REAL option. Is it?
Do you have some goals yet? Ideas or future plans? Or are you still in crises mode? Overwhelmed & up to your eyeballs.

I just went thru OPs other posts and she has never responded. Could it be that she posts and has no way of knowing how to see her posts? I use a tablet and have had no problem since I first started with the group.
Wonder if an Administor can email her and find out what her problem seems to be. Reported my post.
Hi Caroline. I looked at your most recent question, and it has fully 7 answers, which is about the norm for any question on Forum, unless there is response back from the OP. It seems to me your situation is overwhelming. You have had two debilitated seniors and one sister who likely will need care for life "come up from Florida" and move into your own home. Now you are overwhelmed. Sadly,not everything has an answer, and especially when it has become complicated by taking a senior into your own home. Because at that point it is THEIR home. They have become a tenant, whether a paying one or not, and you have taken on responsibility for them, which can lead to threats from APS of "neglect" and a myriad other issues. At this point, having moved into your own home three people in need of 24/7 care, I cannot even imagine an answer to the situation. I do not see that it is humanely possible to continue to do this care, and winding your way out of it will be extremely difficult. I would suggest you begin by seeing an Elder Law Attorney. I am hoping you have not taken on POA for your Mom, Dad and Sister. I would suggest that you not do so, but leave this to the state as you will be having trouble enough simply to visit them in any placement facilities, let alone attempt care for them. I am so sorry. I think you must feel absolutely lost and helpless. I wish I did have an answer for you, but sadly I don't. I can only sympathize for your plight, and wish you the very best. Digging out of this is going to be dreadfully difficult. Start with a good discussion with all, yourself, your hubbie, you Mom and Dad, and your Sister. Again, I am so sorry, and I wish I had more answers for you.
Click on the blue circle with the C in it. You will see the word "following". All your questions and answers are there. Like said, its best to stay with one thread. Easier for us to follow you.
I think responding to answers gets you more interaction. So posting a question and then going completely silent will not get you much help. Too many drive by posters.
Interact with the ones that take the time to answer and that will help keep your question in current activity. Otherwise it gets way down on the questions and I know, I don't scroll through pages, 1st or 2nd page usually and that's it. I am sure I am not the only one.

Try again.
The description in your profile leads me to wonder if support is enough.
Not just support but an entire team of sturdy workhorses! And another team to look after the workhorses!
What's your first question?
Maybe it was a glitch in the system. Could you post your question now.
