My brother said I can't process this information when I asked him what did he think Mom's care should be....she has Alzheimer's, lives alone.

Fell at 4am and laid on the kitchen floor until 7pm when my sister found her...I am the main caregiver..all doctors visits, hairdresser, grocery store, laundry, garbage, neither he or my sister has offered any help with these...both of them say I don't know when I asked what type of care she should have...she can't just be alone everyday and night if there is a fall problem....not the first time she fell on the porch and the meals on wheels man had to help her up and in the house..I have not spoken to either of them for 2 years I have just continued to help my mom every week because I know they would not..but it is now at the point of no return....need some advice...

I left my mom in their care tonight because I could not stay in the room with them and their "I don't know" answers...she has been this way for 2 years it is not a new situation....she is also very stubborn an polish...he says shes old she is gonna fall..but it needs to be prevented
