[quote=Anonymous] OP here, sitting at my parents table while Dad showers and I'll take us to the hospital to sit with Mom...some things we've done over the years is, 
-grab rails in the bathrooms
-tub removed and low step in shower put in, has bench
-higher toilets
-ramps at exterior doors (we live in Fl so there is only one shallow step out, which is typical here thankfully)
-bed assist rail and padded mats on Dad's side of bed.

His pill box is filled until Sunday, I might have to bring it to the hospital for her to fill it then LOL I don't know what goes where. Soon as I get back  there today I will hopefully have the agencies info to call to try to get someone to start ASAP while she's inpatient. I do have a brother, he unfortunately is out of the country on a much-delayed long business trip. When he gets back he's coming down (lives up north) but can't until then. We've been talking every few hours so he's looped in. My 18 yo dd has been amazing! she stayed all night last night and came over this am before I came back from the hosp to get my dad ready.

I already told my work I need FMLA monday at the least.

They are not interested in assisted living. They made clear to brother and I that they want to stay in this place. I'm divorced and willing to move in if that would be helpful, but we'll have this conversation later after this crisis.
