Then I’d find someone that can come once a week to just clean and do laundry. Get that covered and see what else you need. You could probably find a college student to assist a few hours a week with meal prep and shopping and helping the kid learn what needs to be done.

I agree in principle with advice to engage the young teens. It's just that I need a surge of support. The house deteriorated, particularly in the final months of her illness. One of my teens is eager to assist, the other has severe emotional/psychological/educational iss And will be attending a residential program soon. I believe that once I set everything up maintenance will be easier. It's the combination of all the demands which makes tackling this challenging for me: daily meals, groceries, full-time work, etc.
