Is there any help for a 70 year old caregiver of a 71 year old stage 5 alzheimer

1 answer | Last updated: Jun 27, 2012
My 70 yr old mom is the sole caregiver of my 71 yr old dad and my 44 yr old sister which is mentally retarded. My sister has always been at home and my dad gets worse by the minute,. My mom needs home health services to keep her sanity and a handicap shower for my sister. I have been trying for a while now with dead ends. They live in GA. Can any one steer me in the right direction?
