Ditto. As I understand it, there are 3 reasons why siblings do not support - money, time and distance. How sad for our parents.

As someone who spent her professional life in home care and hospice for seniors, I am now retired (age 74) and often serve as family friend/respite caregiver. I try to bridge the communication gap between elder (whom I understand better as I age), middle-age children and health system. I very highly recommend the book "How to Say It to Seniors", as kids often get it wrong and this causes a lot of trouble. Also, for my caregiver friends I recommend "My Mother, Your Mother" to show how health care needs to change and how we can cope until it does. Keep helping!
