[quote=Anonymous]I already said, I don't know your sibling's schedule, there is no law how often one has to visit. If he wanted to come more often, he would. I don't know for example if your mom helped him out with childrearing or anything at all and if he feels indebted. If he is a jerk as you say, I'm afraid that's on your mom's parenting. Again, as you say, I guess she didn't model caregiving behavior herself perhaps. But I agree, thanks to medical advancement, the elderly live long and therefore once they're not independent any more, they should not be living alone. So you need to figure out the next steps. Whether it's having her live with one of you or hire help. You'll not avoid throwing money at it once one is helpless to such extent that they are unable to do basic daily tasks, unless you intend to give up your own life. Perhaps your sibling has figured this all out, because you sure haven't, and that's all there is to it. [/quote]
