I am a "standby care provider" my parents are still able to care for themselves, for now.
I live with my parents in their home.
I help clean and care for the house, fix meals.
I own a business from home.
I am helping my mom after her fall 3 weeks ago, that caused pain in her back and she is limited to how much she can do.

My dad has mood swings on and off,..... (He lost many of his siblings to altzimers, we fear he has it) he has on/off headaches from senus infections. He don't sleep well at night. He becomes upset over things he no longer able to do ( arthritis and start of loss of flexibility) he complains about growing old (73) He would becomes upset with my mom; lack of organization of important papers and bills, ect.
Looks like parents are still independent. Is your business profitable enough for u to live on ur own? If so, maybe its time to leave once Mom is up and around. Dad can take care of her. They can take care of each other.
