[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

I find communicating with sibling over Mom's care via email only is best.  No texts, no meetings, no phone calls.
I'd keep the grandchild out of it.  His parent can keep him/her informed.

Look around at residency options, nursing homes, assisted living etc.

Some scripts,

"My physicican has advised me to step back from Mom's care due to husbands cancer care.  I can no longer provide daily care for Mom.  I've scheduled Mom at _________
so that I can get 3 weeks of respite care.  I will be signing the contract for respite care on __________.  Mom will be moving into ___________ nursing home for 3 weeks so that I can get my physician prescribed respite care."

another script

"My physician has advised me to step away from Moms day to day care for medical reasons.  Mom and I have toured ________. I will be signing the contract for her to move in to ______________ on ________________.  Mom will
be moving in to ______________on _________.

another script

My physician has advised me to step away from Moms day to day care due to my husbands cancer battle.  I am no longer available to get Mom groceries, feed Mom, launder Mom's clothes and pay Moms bills, clean Mom's house and do Mom's dishes.  I've toured __________, and _____________, and ___________
with Mom.  I think the family should consider alternative residency options for Mom and I believe considering these options will be a safer long term option for Mom.

Thank you. I took a mental health day from everything, but reading now. This last script is really helpful. I deeply appreciate it.[/quote]

OP, I'm the script writer.  Good luck with everything and take care of yourself.[/quote]
